Jusuf Nurkic Contract & Salary

Jusuf Nurkic is on the books for $11,458,333 in 2026-27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Utah Jazz roster and 6.3% of the team's $183.0M payroll.

That ranks 157th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 6.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $22,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $11,458,333 down to $10,541,667, a 8% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.

At 32, this contract runs through his age-33 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 5th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Utah Jazz's books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $182,965,101.

Utah Jazz sit at $183.0M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$19.5M of room below the first apron.
