Jay Huff is on the books for $2,667,944 in 2026-27, the 11th largest cap hit on the Indiana Pacers roster and 1.3% of the team's $206.3M payroll.

That ranks 338th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 1.6% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $3,005,085 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $2,667,944 in the first year up to $3,005,085 in the last, a 13% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2026-27 non-guaranteed, 2027-28 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 28, this contract runs through his age-29 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

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 Indiana Pacers' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $206,299,934.
