Hannes Steinbach Contract & Salary

Hannes Steinbach is on the books for $5,227,200 in 2026-27, the 10th largest cap hit on the Charlotte Hornets roster and 3.2% of the team's $161.7M payroll.

That ranks 261st among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.2% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $24,981,960 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $5,227,200 in the first year up to $8,516,040 in the last, a 63% 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 20, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-23 season, before the expensive years start.

He is the 10th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Charlotte Hornets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $161,691,873.

Charlotte Hornets sit at $161.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$37.5M of room below the first apron.
