In an interview with RG's DJ Siddiqi on Monday, Dell said his 37-year-old son is far from retirement.

"He still loves the game,” Curry said. "He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision."

Dell added that he believes Steph could make an impact even with his age due to his play style.

"Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he’s going to require attention," Curry added. "Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he’s creating space for other guys around him.

"If you can shoot the basketball, there’s a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you’re Steph Curry, I think you’re going to be able to play until you say, 'I’m done.'"

Steph Curry was the 12th-oldest active player last season. He played in 70 games and averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds on 44.8% shooting, including 39.7% from 3-point range. He also put up the second-highest free-throw clip of his career (93.3%).

Curry, alongside midseason acquisition Jimmy Butler, led Golden State's second-half resurgence. However, he missed the Warriors' last four playoff games due to a hamstring injury, resulting in a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In an interview with CNBC Sport earlier this month, Curry said he would be open to a career in broadcasting, although he was not rushing into anything.

Dell said his son's level of play is fueled by dedication, discipline and work ethic.

“Those are things that make him the player that he is, because of his dedication and discipline in the offseason to want to get better and not cheat the game," he added. "That’s the player that he can always be. He wants to continue to be that player. It’s amazing that he’s 37 and he’s still playing at this level."

In 2024-25, Curry was named an All-Star for the 11th time. The four-time NBA champion was also named to the All-NBA second team, his 11th All-NBA selection.
