Derrick White Contract & Salary

Derrick White is on the books for $30,348,000 in 2026-27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Boston Celtics roster and 15.3% of the team's $198.7M payroll.

That ranks 62nd among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 18.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $97,788,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $30,348,000 in the first year up to $34,844,000 in the last, a 15% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 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.

At 32, this contract runs through his age-34 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 14 players on the Boston Celtics' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $198,722,406.

Boston Celtics sit at $198.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$10.3M of room below the first apron.
