Updated · 2026–27 season
Kristaps Porzingis is on the books for $20,000,000 in 2026–27, the 4th largest cap hit on the Golden State Warriors roster and 9.1% of the team's $220.8M payroll.
That ranks 94th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 12.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $20,000,000 in guaranteed money.
The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $20,000,000 every year rather than escalating.
Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.
The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.
At 31, this contract runs through his age-32 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.
He is the 4th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 15 players on the Golden State Warriors' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $220,838,432.
Golden State Warriors sit at $220.8M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$12.3M of room below the first apron.
