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 19.0% of the team's $190.6M payroll.

That ranks 49th among the 434 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 14 players on the Phoenix Suns' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $190,579,034.

Phoenix Suns sit at $190.6M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$4.8M of room below the first apron.
