Alex Karaban Contract & Salary

Alex Karaban is on the books for $2,948,280 in 2026–27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Sacramento Kings roster and 1.5% of the team's $193.9M payroll.

That ranks 330th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 1.8% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $15,140,880 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $2,948,280 in the first year up to $5,853,840 in the last, a 99% 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 23, the deal covers his age-23 through age-26 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 9th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Sacramento Kings' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $193,946,824.

Sacramento Kings sit at $193.9M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$7.6M of room below the first apron.
