Nickeil Alexander-Walker Contract & Salary

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is on the books for $14,403,710 in 2026–27, the 6th largest cap hit on the Atlanta Hawks roster and 7.5% of the team's $190.9M payroll.

That ranks 129th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 8.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $45,485,400 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $14,403,710 in the first year up to $15,919,890 in the last, a 11% 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 28, this contract runs through his age-30 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 6th highest-paid of the 16 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 16 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $190,927,649.

Atlanta Hawks sit at $190.9M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$11.5M of room below the first apron.
