Paul George Contract & Salary

Paul George is on the books for $54,126,380 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Boston Celtics roster and 27.2% of the team's $198.7M payroll.

That ranks 11th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 32.8% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $110,713,050 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $54,126,380 in the first year up to $56,586,670 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 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 36, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 37.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 14 players on the Boston Celtics' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $198,722,406.

Boston Celtics sit at $198.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$10.3M of room below the first apron.
