Stephen Curry will be eligible for an extension this summer, but negotiations will be potentially problematic given his inability to stay healthy this season.

Curry has missed the majority of the season due to persistent ankle injuries.

“Being an injury year, you have some doubts and concerns when it comes to contract negotiations, especially when it comes to my first go-around at it,” Curry said. “It would be great if we met somewhere. Whether it happens or not, I want to be out here and be a part of where we’re going.”

While Curry was limited this season to 26 games, he believes the perspective from the sidelines was useful.

“Dealing with the trades we’ve had, getting all these new guys and trying to build from scratch again has made for an interesting season off the court, especially when I’m trying to become a better leader,” Curry said. “Not being able to play, you see the game differently – watching on TV on the road and watching in person at home. I’ve gotten better at being able to read things on the court.”

His injuries this season shouldn't influence discussions. If you want to have any shot at being a contender, you HAVE to lock him up.
