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 444 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.
