Tyus Jones Contract & Salary

Tyus Jones is on the books for $2,449,421 in 2026–27, the 12th largest cap hit on the Denver Nuggets roster and 1.1% of the team's $217.5M payroll.

That ranks 366th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 1.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

This is an expiring contract: 2026-27 is the last season on it, worth $2,449,421 guaranteed.

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

At 30, this contract runs through his age-30 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

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.
