Jayson Tatum To Earn $40 Million In 2024-25; The Largest Contract Per Year In Celtics Team History

Salary Cap Table Shows Tatum's Massive Guarantee

Tatum Is Only The Sixth NBA Player To Garner A Contract Worth $40 Million Per Year

Jayson Tatum is set to earn a record-breaking $40 million in the 2024-25 season, making it the largest contract per year in Boston Celtics team history. The salary cap table released this week shows Tatum's massive guarantee, which will make him one of the highest-paid players in the NBA.

Tatum is only the sixth NBA player to garner a contract worth $40 million per year. He joins an elite group that includes Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Joel Embiid.

The Celtics' salary cap table also shows that the team has over $100 million in cap space for the 2024-25 season. This gives them plenty of flexibility to add another star player or two to their roster.

With Tatum locked up on a long-term deal, the Celtics are well-positioned to contend for an NBA championship for years to come.
