James Wiseman Contract & Salary

James Wiseman is on the books for $2,449,421 in 2026-27, the 13th largest cap hit on the New York Knicks roster and 1.1% of the team's $220.9M payroll.

That ranks 377th among the 435 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 1.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

This is an expiring contract: 2026-27 is the last season on it, worth $0 guaranteed.

Not every year is locked in: 2026-27 non-guaranteed.

The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.

At 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-25 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

He is one of 14 players on the New York Knicks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $220,861,653.

New York Knicks sit at $220.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$11.8M of room below the first apron.
