Lauri Markkanen Contract & Salary

Lauri Markkanen is on the books for $46,113,154 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Utah Jazz roster and 25.2% of the team's $183.0M payroll.

That ranks 26th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 28.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $149,474,044 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $46,113,154 in the first year up to $53,536,209 in the last, a 16% rise across the deal.

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

At 29, this contract runs through his age-31 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

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.
