Updated · 2026–27 season
AJ Dybantsa is on the books for $14,748,000 in 2026–27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Washington Wizards roster and 7.6% of the team's $194.5M payroll.
That ranks 125th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 8.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $66,914,040 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $14,748,000 in the first year up to $20,457,240 in the last, a 39% 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 19, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-22 season, before the expensive years start.
He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.
He is one of 15 players on the Washington Wizards' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $194,462,515.
Washington Wizards sit at $194.5M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$14.6M of room below the first apron.
