Updated · 2026-27 season

Nate Ament is on the books for $5,502,000 in 2026-27, the 10th largest cap hit on the Milwaukee Bucks roster and 3.4% of the team's $160.4M payroll.

That ranks 253rd among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $25,980,120 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $5,502,000 in the first year up to $8,648,640 in the last, a 57% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option, 2029-30 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 19, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-22 season, before the expensive years start.

He is the 10th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Milwaukee Bucks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $160,392,370.

Milwaukee Bucks sit at $160.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$16.5M of room below the first apron.
