Jalen Green Contract & Salary

Jalen Green is on the books for $36,251,166 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Phoenix Suns roster and 18.8% of the team's $193.0M payroll.

That ranks 48th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 22.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $72,251,166 in guaranteed money.

The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $36,251,166 every year rather than escalating.

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 24, the deal covers his age-24 through age-25 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 Phoenix Suns' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $193,028,455.

Phoenix Suns sit at $193.0M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$7.2M of room below the first apron.
