DaRon Holmes II Contract & Salary

DaRon Holmes II is on the books for $3,372,120 in 2026-27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Denver Nuggets roster and 1.6% of the team's $217.5M payroll.

That ranks 306th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 2.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $8,919,258 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $3,372,120 in the first year up to $5,547,138 in the last, a 65% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 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 24, the deal covers his age-24 through age-25 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 9th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Denver Nuggets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $217,460,512.

Denver Nuggets sit at $217.5M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$15.3M of room below the first apron.
