Spencer Jones Contract & Salary

Spencer Jones is on the books for $6,000,000 in 2026-27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Denver Nuggets roster and 2.8% of the team's $217.5M payroll.

That ranks 236th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.6% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $11,750,000 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $6,000,000 down to $5,750,000, a 4% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.

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

At 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-26 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 7th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Denver Nuggets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $217,460,512.

Denver Nuggets sit at $217.5M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$15.3M of room below the first apron.
