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 $180.5M payroll.

That ranks 156th among the 444 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 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Utah Jazz's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $180,515,680.

Utah Jazz sit at $180.5M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$28.5M of room below the first apron.
