Steven Adams Contract & Salary

Steven Adams is on the books for $13,000,000 in 2026–27, the 6th largest cap hit on the Houston Rockets roster and 6.5% of the team's $200.4M payroll.

That ranks 143rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 7.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $24,869,565 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $13,000,000 down to $11,869,565, a 9% 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 33, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 34.

He is the 6th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Houston Rockets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $200,413,923.

Houston Rockets sit at $200.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$8.6M of room below the first apron.
