Luka Doncic Contract & Salary

Luka Doncic is on the books for $49,488,300 in 2026–27, the 1st largest cap hit on the Los Angeles Lakers roster and 24.6% of the team's $200.9M payroll.

That ranks 17th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 30.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $160,342,092 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $49,488,300 in the first year up to $57,406,428 in the last, a 16% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 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 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

No teammate earns more — he is the highest-paid player on the roster for 2026–27.

He is one of 16 players on the Los Angeles Lakers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $200,897,322.

Los Angeles Lakers sit at $200.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with +$8.1M of room below the first apron.
