Jamal Murray Contract & Salary

Jamal Murray is on the books for $50,105,628 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Denver Nuggets roster and 23.0% of the team's $217.5M payroll.

That ranks 15th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 30.4% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $161,451,468 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $50,105,628 in the first year up to $57,528,684 in the last, a 15% rise across the deal.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.

At 29, this contract runs through his age-31 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

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 Denver Nuggets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $217,460,512.

Denver Nuggets sit at $217.5M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$15.3M of room below the first apron.
