Nick Richards Contract & Salary

Nick Richards is on the books for $2,449,421 in 2026–27, the 11th largest cap hit on the Miami Heat roster and 1.2% of the team's $206.6M payroll.

That ranks 381st among the 441 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 $2,449,421 guaranteed.

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

At 28, this contract runs through his age-28 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

He is one of 14 players on the Miami Heat's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $206,624,256.

Miami Heat sit at $206.6M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with +$2.1M of room below the first apron.
