Updated · 2026–27 season
Joan Beringer is on the books for $4,411,200 in 2026–27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster and 2.1% of the team's $213.3M payroll.
That ranks 282nd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 2.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $16,130,563 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $4,411,200 in the first year up to $7,098,163 in the last, a 61% rise across the deal.
Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 team option, 2028-29 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 19, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-21 season, before the expensive years start.
He is the 9th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
