Stephen Curry received financial security from the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, signing a four-year, $44 million contract extension.

Curry has been a very productive NBA player when healthy, but he has dealt with persistent ankle issues.

"I thought the deal was too good to pass up right now," Curry said. "I've been through a lot of injuries the past year and a half. It's back strong and ready to go. ... I'm just excited about the future."

"We think we got a pretty good deal here," co-owner Joe Lacob said. "For a guy who, if he went to free agency and was healthy, frankly would make more. No question about it. And maybe the max."
