Stephen Curry, a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, is reportedly open to competing again in the 2028 Olympics as he maintains a high level of performance late in his career. Having secured gold for the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics thanks to his critical plays against France, Curry continues to demonstrate why he remains an elite player, despite turning 38 next month.
Though advancing in age, Curry’s skills, particularly his shooting, are expected to age well since they do not rely on sheer athletic explosiveness. According to Marc J. Spears, the former NBA star has not ruled out representing Team USA once more in 2028, when he will be 40 years old.
Steph Curry is still interested to make his 2nd Olympic appearance,
Spears said on NBA Today.
He’ll be 40 years old at the time. Look, he’s a shooter. He’s the greatest shooter of all time. Why would you not want to have him on your roster?… He’s not out, let’s just say that.

Recent Performance and Olympic Impact
During the 2024 Summer Olympics, Curry’s clutch shooting was a major factor in Team USA’s success, highlighted by four crucial three-pointers in the fourth quarter of the gold-medal game. One of these shots, a contested step-back over two defenders, helped push the lead to 96–87 late in the game and effectively secured the victory.
Playing alongside teammates such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Curry’s presence was vital to the team’s achievements. While James’s participation in 2028 appears doubtful given his age and other factors, Durant has shown interest in returning for another Olympic campaign. The prospect of Curry and Durant teaming up again raises intriguing possibilities for Team USA’s roster in 2028.
It is the opposite answer of what I told him (James) last year,
Curry commented about the 2028 Games.
It was like, ‘God willing, if I still have the choice and the physical option to be like, yeah, I could actually impact the team.’ Never say never, but I highly doubt it.

Health and Future Outlook
Curry’s ability to influence games through his off-ball movement and shooting makes him a valuable player for any team, but durability could pose challenges heading into 2028. Recently, he has contended with a runner’s knee issue, raising concerns about his ability to stay healthy over the next few years.
Currently sidelined until early March due to this injury, Curry remains focused on returning to help the Golden State Warriors, who hold the eighth spot in the NBA’s Western Conference with a 30–27 record. This season, he is averaging 27.2 points and 4.8 assists per game, maintaining strong numbers despite the injury setbacks.
The possibility of Curry seeking a second Olympic gold adds an intriguing layer to his career as he balances his role as a champion for the Warriors with potential future international competition. His continued willingness to compete at the highest levels reflects both his dedication and the unique skill set he brings to basketball on any stage.
