The Washington Wizards carry $194,462,515 in salary for 2026-27, the 17th largest payroll in the league.
That is $29.5M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.
They sit +$6.0M below the $200.4M luxury-tax line and are not projected to pay tax this season.
With +$14.6M of room below the first apron and +$27.2M below the second, they keep the full set of exceptions and the ordinary salary-matching rules in a trade.
They are hard-capped at the 1st Apron ($209.0M), a ceiling the payroll cannot cross for the rest of the season by any means.
This team has 15 players on standard contracts and 3 two-way deals.
Anthony Davis is the largest cap hit on the roster at $58,456,556, 30.1% of team payroll, ahead of Trae Young ($49.5M) and AJ Dybantsa ($14.7M).
They have $27,013,250 of spending power available across 3 exceptions, the largest a $15.0M Non-taxpayer Mid-Level.
Committed salary drops to $190,000,228 for 2027-28, held by 12 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.
