Walter Clayton Jr. Contract & Salary

Walter Clayton Jr. is on the books for $4,190,520 in 2026–27, the 12th largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 3.0% of the team's $139.9M payroll.

That ranks 285th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 2.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $15,133,352 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $4,190,520 in the first year up to $6,752,312 in the last, a 61% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 team option, 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 23, the deal covers his age-23 through age-25 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 12th highest-paid of the 19 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 19 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $139,883,634.

Memphis Grizzlies sit at $139.9M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$44.9M of room below the first apron.
