Steph Curry leaves door open for 2028 Olympics after ‘highly doubt it’ comment

Back in November, Steph Curry seemed to slam the door on playing in the 2028 Summer Olympics for Team USA. 

But last week, speaking exclusively with the California Post, he cracked the door open just enough to let the conversation breathe like a fine wine. 

Curry was asked about the possibility of suiting up for Team USA in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and his response was measured and casual. 

“We’ll figure it out when the time comes, for sure,” Curry told the Post. 

It wasn’t a commitment, but it also wasn’t a denial. 

Five months earlier, on the “Mind the Game” podcast with LeBron James and Steve Nash, Curry struck a different one.

“Never say never, but I highly doubt it.” 

That sounded like closure, but now the language has shifted subtly. 

Curry can clearly still play at an elite level. Last Wednesday in the Warriors play-in game victory over the Clippers, Curry scored 35 points, 27 in the second half as he rallied his team back from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit. 

Curry will be 40 years old in 2028, and the question won’t be whether or not he can still shoot. That part is certain. The real question will be if he’s healthy and wants to compete. 

Recently, The California Post took a swing at projecting that 2028 roster. You can read those predictions here. 

So when Curry says, “We’ll figure it out,” it’s an opening that the game hasn’t moved past him just yet, and until it does, the door will stay open.
