Updated · 2026-27 season

Bennett Stirtz is on the books for $4,717,320 in 2026-27, the 12th largest cap hit on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster and 2.2% of the team's $214.3M payroll.

That ranks 271st among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 2.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $22,820,520 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $4,717,320 in the first year up to $7,960,560 in the last, a 69% 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 sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

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.

Oklahoma City Thunder sit at $214.3M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$5.3M of room below the first apron.
