Updated · 2026–27 season
Chris Cenac Jr is on the books for $2,988,120 in 2026–27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Boston Celtics roster and 1.5% of the team's $198.7M payroll.
That ranks 327th 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 $15,343,680 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $2,988,120 in the first year up to $5,930,520 in the last, a 98% 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 the 8th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 14 players on the Boston Celtics' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $198,722,406.
