Updated · 2026–27 season

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the books for $58,456,566 in 2026–27, the 1st largest cap hit on the Miami Heat roster and 28.4% of the team's $206.2M payroll.

That ranks 4th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 35.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $121,243,248 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $58,456,566 in the first year up to $62,786,682 in the last, a 7% 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.

At 31, this contract runs through his age-32 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

No teammate earns more — he is the highest-paid player on the roster for 2026–27.

He is one of 14 players on the Miami Heat's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $206,189,256.
