Karim Lopez Contract & Salary

Karim Lopez is on the books for $3,746,760 in 2026-27, the 10th largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 3.1% of the team's $120.6M payroll.

That ranks 295th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 2.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $18,368,760 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $3,746,760 in the first year up to $6,565,920 in the last, a 75% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option, 2029-30 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-22 season, before the expensive years start.

He is the 10th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $120,551,052.

Memphis Grizzlies sit at $120.6M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$45.6M of room below the first apron.
