Updated · 2026–27 season
Mario Hezonja is on the books for $2,449,421 in 2026–27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Cleveland Cavaliers roster and 1.2% of the team's $206.7M payroll.
That ranks 362nd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 1.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.
This is an expiring contract: 2026-27 is the last season on it, worth $0 guaranteed.
Not every year is locked in: 2026-27 non-guaranteed.
The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.
At 31, this contract runs through his age-31 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.
He is the 8th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 14 players on the Cleveland Cavaliers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $206,725,846.
Cleveland Cavaliers sit at $206.7M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$3.6M of room below the first apron.
