“I think we’re going to be in for some fun surprises”: Ayesha Curry boldly predicts Stephen Curry’s upcoming season with Warriors

Stephen Curry is heading into a season with high championship expectations. A knee injury wiped out much of his 2025-26 campaign, and now, with a new contract on the table, Golden State's franchise cornerstone is being asked two questions at once: can he stay healthy, and will he stay a Warrior for good?His wife, Ayesha Curry, isn't worried about either one. Ayesha recently offered a glimpse into what she's seeing behind the scenes, and it's the kind of comment that gets Warriors fans talking before training camp even opens.Ayesha Curry makes bold Stephen Curry prediction for upcoming seasonStephen Curry's 2025-26 season never really found its footing. Runner's knee kept him out for stretches, and he finished with just 43 regular-season appearances, one of the lowest totals of his career outside of the shortened 2019-20 and 2011-12 seasons. Golden State finished 37-45, and the flashes of vintage Curry, like his outburst in the play-in game in Los Angeles, couldn't carry over into the next round against Phoenix.Ayesha's comments to NBC Sports Bay Area revealed a subtle picture. She described her husband as someone who hasn't taken a break since the season ended, training with the same intensity that's defined his career. “Steph is the hardest-working man in the room. He has no days off. He hasn’t stopped since last season ended. He’s ready. He’s ready to get out there,” she said, before adding that the next coming years could bring some genuinely surprising moments for Golden State. “I think we’re going to be in for some fun surprises over the next couple of years.”Ayesha is confident in her prediction as Steph gears up for the upcoming season.Stephen Curry spills the beans on contract situation with WarriorsCurry became eligible for a new maximum extension over the weekend, right as he begins preparing for his 18th NBA season. He's currently under contract through 2026-27 at $62.6 million, the highest annual salary in the league, and the NBA's Over-38 Rule caps any new deal at two years and $136.7 million.Despite the number crunching swirling around him, Curry made his stance clear during an event for his and Ayesha's Eat. Learn. Play. foundation. "There's no question I want to be here the rest of my career," he told NBC Sports Bay Area, brushing aside any suggestion that his future lies elsewhere.He also made a point of separating the business side from basketball. Contract talks, he explained, won't distract him or the team from preparing for a season he badly wants to make count, especially after watching so much of last year from the sidelines. At 38, with 26.6 points per game and a 12th All-Star selection to show for an injury-shortened year, Curry isn't chasing validation. He's chasing a healthy season, and by his own account, and his wife's, he's already put in the work to get there.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
