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 $193.3M payroll.

That ranks 130th among the 434 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 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $193,315,170.

Atlanta Hawks sit at $193.3M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$9.3M of room below the first apron.
