Updated · 2026-27 season

Aday Mara is on the books for $5,791,680 in 2026-27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster and 2.7% of the team's $214.3M payroll.

That ranks 244th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $27,023,760 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $5,791,680 in the first year up to $8,779,440 in the last, a 52% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option, 2029-30 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 21, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-24 season, before the expensive years start.

He is the 8th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Oklahoma City Thunder's books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $214,279,492.
