Updated · 2026-27 season

Aaron Wiggins is on the books for $8,831,776 in 2026-27, the 10th largest cap hit on the Atlanta Hawks roster and 4.6% of the team's $193.3M payroll.

That ranks 191st among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 5.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $24,813,096 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $8,831,776 down to $7,990,665, a 10% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 10th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $193,315,170.

Atlanta Hawks sit at $193.3M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$9.3M of room below the first apron.
