NBA Insider Sheds Light on Stephen Curry’s ‘Interest’ in Chasing 2nd Gold Medal With Team USA at 2028 Olympics

Stephen Curry is reportedly open to another Olympic run in 2028 as he continues to remain elite for the Warriors.

While Stephen Curry is in the later stages of his career, the Golden State Warriors star remains elite. His late-game heroics against France at the 2024 Summer Olympics secured gold for the United States, and even though he is turning 38 next month, the four-time NBA Champion is reportedly interested in another Olympic trip.

Stephen Curry Reportedly Interested in Chasing Another Olympic Gold Medal

At 37, it’s fair to wonder how much longer Curry can sustain elite production. His game isn’t built on overwhelming athleticism, which could help it age gracefully. But without elite explosiveness, he often faces tougher scoring challenges than more dynamic guards.

For now, though, there are few signs of decline. According to Marc J. Spears, Curry remains open to another Olympic run with the United States men’s national basketball team at the 2028 Summer Olympics.

“Steph Curry is still interested to make his 2nd Olympic appearance,” he 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.”

Fans saw Curry share the floor with stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant at the 2024 Summer Olympics. He connected on four clutch 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, including a step-back and the heavily contested shot over two defenders that extended Team USA’s lead to 96–87 and effectively secured the gold medal.

While James’ status for 2028 appears unlikely, Durant has expressed interest in competing again. Given their similar ages, the possibility of both suiting up remains intriguing.

“It is the opposite answer of what I told him (James) last year,” Curry said earlier about competing in 2028. “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.”

Curry’s off-ball gravity and ability to swing games instantly would make him a valuable asset. Health, however, looms as the biggest question. Curry has recently dealt with a runner’s knee issue, and durability will only become a greater concern as 2028 approaches.

For now, his focus remains on returning to full strength to help the Golden State Warriors, who sit eighth in the Western Conference with a 30–27 record. He is expected to remain sidelined until the start of March and is averaging 27.2 points and 4.8 assists per game this season.
