Isaiah Stewart is on the books for $15,000,000 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 12.4% of the team's $120.6M payroll.
That ranks 122nd among the 434 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 15 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $120,551,052.
