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 126th among the 434 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.
