JUST IN: Stephen Curry is set to become the first active NBA player to earn more than $200 million in a single year, leading Forbes’ 2026 ranking of the league’s highest-paid players.⁠ ⁠ Curry’s projected $203.6 million total includes $141 million in off-court earnings, fueled by endorsements and business ventures. His reported $400 million, 10-year Li-Ning deal is a major driver, with his signature shoe expected to launch early next year. Kevin Durant rises to No. 2, while LeBron James slips to No. 4 after leading the rankings for 11 consecutive years.⁠ ⁠ The top 10 are projected to earn a combined $958 million in 2026-27, up 6% from last year’s record total. Off-court earnings account for $469 million of that figure, highlighting the growing business power of the league’s biggest stars.⁠ ⁠ (via @Forbes) #forbes #NBA #highestpaid #basketball #stephcurry
