Brandon Ingram Contract & Salary

Brandon Ingram is on the books for $40,000,000 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Los Angeles Clippers roster and 21.6% of the team's $185.4M payroll.

That ranks 43rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 24.2% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $81,904,762 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $40,000,000 in the first year up to $41,904,762 in the last, a 5% 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 29, this contract runs through his age-30 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

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 17 players on the Los Angeles Clippers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $185,362,825.

Los Angeles Clippers sit at $185.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$23.7M of room below the first apron.
