Isaiah Stewart is on the books for $15,000,000 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 10.7% of the team's $139.9M payroll.

That ranks 121st among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 9.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $30,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $15,000,000 every year rather than escalating.

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 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-26 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

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 19 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $139,883,634.

Memphis Grizzlies sit at $139.9M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$44.9M of room below the first apron.
