Karim Lopez Contract & Salary

Karim Lopez is on the books for $3,746,760 in 2026–27, the 13th largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 2.7% of the team's $139.9M payroll.

That ranks 302nd among the 444 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 13th highest-paid of the 19 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 19 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $139,883,634.

Memphis Grizzlies sit at $139.9M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$44.9M of room below the first apron.
