Top 25 highest-paid NBA players in 2023-24 includes a $52M guard – USA TODAY
The NBA does not have a $60 million a season player. Yet.
Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard is set to hit $60 million per season in 2026-27. Lillard eventually will have company in the $60 million club when Phoenix’s Devin Booker, Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns, Denver’s Nikola Jokic, Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo hit that mark in 2027-28.
But for now, Golden State’s Steph Curry is the highest-paid player in the NBA at $51.9 million this season. Curry has held the top spot since 2021-22 and is in line to be the highest-paid player for the next two seasons.
