Updated · 2026–27 season

Anthony Davis is on the books for $58,456,556 in 2026–27, the 1st largest cap hit on the Washington Wizards roster and 30.1% of the team's $194.5M payroll.

That ranks 5th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 35.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $121,243,238 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $58,456,556 in the first year up to $62,786,682 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 33, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 34.

No teammate earns more — he is the highest-paid player on the roster for 2026–27.

He is one of 15 players on the Washington Wizards' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $194,462,515.
