Updated · 2026–27 season

T.J. McConnell is on the books for $11,000,000 in 2026–27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Indiana Pacers roster and 5.3% of the team's $206.3M payroll.

That ranks 161st among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 6.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $11,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $11,000,000 in the first year up to $11,800,000 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed, 2028-29 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 34, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 36.

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 Indiana Pacers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $206,299,934.

Indiana Pacers sit at $206.3M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with +$2.2M of room below the first apron.
