Updated · 2026–27 season
Damian Lillard is on the books for $13,398,800 in 2026–27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Portland Trail Blazers roster and 7.0% of the team's $191.8M payroll.
That ranks 140th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 8.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $27,502,800 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $13,398,800 in the first year up to $14,104,000 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.

He is the 7th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 14 players on the Portland Trail Blazers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $191,825,441.
