UNDATED (AP) — Stephen Curry will continue to draw some pretty hefty paychecks from the Golden State Warriors for a few more years.

The four-year, $215 million extension will carry through the 2025-26 season. Curry had one year remaining on his current five-year, $201 million package.

The deal was first reported by ESPN and was confirmed to the AP by Curry’s agent.

He averaged 32.0 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds and shot 42.1% from 3-point range for the Warriors this past season.

Also around the NBA:

— The Bulls have acquired high-scoring small forward DeMar DeRozan a day after adding point guard Lonzo Ball. A person familiar with the deal says the Bulls agreed to a three-year, $85 million contract with DeRozan as part of a sign-and-trade with San Antonio. It was not clear what the Spurs are getting in return.

— Carmelo Anthony has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lakers, uniting him with fellow 2003 draft pick LeBron James. The 37-year-old Anthony averaged 13.4 points and made 40.9% of his 3-pointers coming off the bench for Portland last season.

— The Cavaliers filled one of their biggest needs, acquiring veteran point guard Ricky Rubio from the Timberwolves. Cleveland sent forward Taurean Prince, a 2022 second-round draft pick and cash to Minnesota for the 10-year NBA veteran.
