Josh Hart Contract & Salary

Josh Hart is on the books for $20,923,760 in 2026-27, the 5th largest cap hit on the New York Knicks roster and 9.5% of the team's $220.9M payroll.

That ranks 89th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 12.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $43,299,040 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $20,923,760 in the first year up to $22,375,280 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 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 31, this contract runs through his age-32 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 5th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

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 -$11.9M of room below the first apron.
