Updated · 2026-27 season

Darius Acuff Jr is on the books for $8,021,640 in 2026-27, the 6th largest cap hit on the Sacramento Kings roster and 4.1% of the team's $193.9M payroll.

That ranks 200th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 4.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $36,474,120 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $8,021,640 in the first year up to $11,205,960 in the last, a 40% 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 6th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Sacramento Kings' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $193,946,824.

Sacramento Kings sit at $193.9M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$7.6M of room below the first apron.
