Wendell Carter Jr. Contract & Salary

Wendell Carter Jr. is on the books for $18,102,000 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Orlando Magic roster and 8.6% of the team's $209.9M payroll.

That ranks 101st among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 11.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $58,650,480 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $18,102,000 in the first year up to $20,998,320 in the last, a 16% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 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 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 5th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Orlando Magic's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $209,865,321.

Orlando Magic sit at $209.9M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$10.2M of room below the first apron.
