Charlotte Hornets star Terry Rozier just made a huge splash this summer by signing a huge $97 million contract extension that has an intriguing fine print. The 27-year-old is slated to receive upwards of $20 million per year guaranteed but in his final year, there’s a slight stipulation that could potentially deprive Rozier of his last $1.5 million in the contract.
According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, only $24.9 million out of Rozier’s $26.3 million salary for the 2025-26 NBA season is locked. The remaining $1.5 million only becomes fully guaranteed if the Hornets make the second round of the playoffs in any of the three seasons from 2022-2025.
