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 25.5% of the team's $180.5M payroll.

That ranks 26th among the 444 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 14 players on the Utah Jazz's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $180,515,680.
