Rudy Gobert Contract & Salary

Rudy Gobert is on the books for $36,500,000 in 2026–27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster and 17.1% of the team's $213.3M payroll.

That ranks 47th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 22.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $74,500,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $36,500,000 in the first year up to $38,000,000 in the last, a 4% 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 34, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 35.

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 Minnesota Timberwolves' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $213,345,684.

Minnesota Timberwolves sit at $213.3M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$8.1M of room below the first apron.
