Updated · 2026-27 season
Corey Kispert is on the books for $13,975,000 in 2026-27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Atlanta Hawks roster and 7.2% of the team's $193.3M payroll.
That ranks 137th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 8.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $40,025,000 in guaranteed money.
The money declines rather than climbs, from $13,975,000 down to $13,025,000, a 7% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.
Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 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 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.
He is the 9th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 15 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $193,315,170.
