Speculation over Stephen Curry's future intensified after the Golden State Warriors suffered a 111–96 defeat to the Phoenix Suns in their win-or-go-home NBA play-in tournament game on Friday night, but the veteran guard has firmly dismissed retirement rumours, insisting he is not close to stepping away from the game.

The loss ended the Warriors' postseason hopes in disappointing fashion, with Curry scoring 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting after a strong 35-point performance against the Los Angeles Clippers earlier in the play-in round.
