Trae Young Contract & Salary

Trae Young is on the books for $49,488,300 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Washington Wizards roster and 25.4% of the team's $194.5M payroll.

That ranks 20th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 30.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $212,799,690 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $49,488,300 in the first year up to $58,396,194 in the last, a 18% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 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 28, this contract runs through his age-31 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

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 15 players on the Washington Wizards' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $194,462,515.

Washington Wizards sit at $194.5M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$14.6M of room below the first apron.
