Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116 million that would take him through the 2028-29 season. That's according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Warriors had not announced the terms of Curry's contract. Curry was eligible to command up to $136 million, so he is giving his team a discount as he backs up his longstanding commitment to finish his career with the Warriors. He is a two-time MVP and the NBA career leader in 3-pointers.

After 24 seasons, the Mohegan Tribe and the WNBA's Connecticut Sun are parting ways. The tribe purchased the franchise in 2003, becoming the first Native American tribe to own a professional sports team. In May, the tribe’s business arm closed a $300 million deal with NBA Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta for the Rockets to buy the Sun and relocate the team to Houston. It's an emotional goodbye for fans. The team had become a point of community pride for the Mohegan people and a platform to share their language, culture and values.
