Career Overview

Kyle Kuzma’s passion for basketball ignited when, at age two, his mother and stepfather put a toy basketball rim in the living room for him. Kuzma drew inspiration from NBA stars Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant and his mother, whose support and encouragement ignited his passion for basketball.

As a junior, he was transferred to Bentley High School, averaging 17.9 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks per game. He averaged 22 points and seven rebounds per game during his senior year at Rise Academy, attracting Division I college offers.

Kuzma Joins Lakers Legends

In 2013, Kyle enrolled at the University of Utah, where he redshirted his freshman year to perfect his skills and adapt to collegiate-level competition. As a junior, he averaged 16.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game, earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors. After his junior year in 2017, he decided to enter the NBA Draft and was selected 27th overall by the Brooklyn Nets.

On draft day, Kuzma decided to join LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook when he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. He officially signed his rookie-scale contract with the Lakers on July 3, 2017, and, with ten rebounds, was named Summer League Championship Game MVP.

Kyle achieved his first double-double as a starter with 21 points and 13 rebounds and was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for October/November.

Putting Up Big Numbers And Earning All-Rookie Honors

Later, in 2017, he scored a career-high 38 points and played in the Rising Stars Challenge during the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend.

In 2018, he was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team with fellow rookies Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, and Ben Simmons. He scored 37 points in a game against the San Antonio Spurs and 41 points in a game against the Detroit Pistons. Given his exceptional play in the 2019 Rising Stars game, Kuzma was named MVP, demonstrating his potential to become a future NBA great.

Kuzma sealed a victory for the Lakers with a game-winning three-pointer against the Denver Nuggets, outshooting players Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. He won the 2020 NBA Championship with the Lakers and signed a three-year, $40 million contract extension on December 21, 2020.

Kuzma Outplays Kevin Love To Seal Wizards Win

Just a year later, on August 6, 2021, Kyle was traded to the Washington Wizards as part of a package for Russell Westbrook.

On October 20, 2021, he made his Wizards debut with 11 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists, establishing his influence immediately. Kyle won over Kevin Love of the Cavaliers by making four three-pointers in the fourth quarter, including two in the last thirty seconds.

In 2023, he scored 40 points against the New York Knicks, and in June, Kuzma declined a $13 million player option, entering free agency. However, only a few days later, Kyle signed a four-year, $102 million deal to remain with the Wizards on June 30, 2023.

NBA Salary

In 2017, Kyle Kuzma signed a four-year rookie contract worth $8.7 million with the Los Angeles Lakers.

In December 2020, just before leaving the Lakers, Kuzma had signed a three-year extension valued at $39 million. Shortly after, he was traded to the Washington Wizards, earning $13 million in 2021 and $13 million in 2022.

In 2023, he declined the third year of his contract to re-sign on a $19 million, four-year contract with the Wizards. The deal increased Kuzma’s average annual salary from $13 million to $22.5 million; in 2023, he earned $25.6 million.

The deal still has three years and $64.4 million remaining, and Kuzma is estimated to earn $23.5 million in the upcoming 24/25 season.

Thus far in his NBA career, Kyle Kuzma has earned $60.1 million.

Endorsements

Kyle Kuzma signed a modest two-year deal with Puma as a rookie in 2017. The original Puma deal paid him a base fee of just $25,000 per year during this time.

Kuzma represented Puma at the Los Angeles Lakers, participating in marketing campaigns, attending community events, sporting Puma sneakers during NBA games, and using his social media to promote the brand.

On October 18th, 2018, GOAT, the world’s largest marketplace for authentic sneakers, announced a partnership with Kuzma, making him their first Brand Ambassador. Throughout the NBA season, Kuzma represented GOAT by wearing rare and highly-coveted Nike sneakers provided by the platform, such as the Nike Air Fear of God 1 “Light Bone” and Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red Octobers.”

Kuzma signed a new five-year, $15 million deal with Puma in 2020, becoming one of the brand’s primary ambassadors in the NBA. The deal is reportedly worth $3 million annually and is expected to net him over $20 million, including royalties, over the deal’s life.

Shortly after signing with Puma, Kyle launched his signature sneaker, the “Clyde All-Pro Kuzma Mid,” with his signature logo on the sole. The sneakers retail at $150 and are only available at selected retailers.

NBA stars like DeMarcus Cousins and Deandre Ayton have also transitioned from Nike to Puma, reflecting a broader trend among players to seek more lucrative and prominent endorsement deals.

Although total earnings from his endorsement deals are undisclosed, his contract with Puma is expected to bring in more than $20 million, with additional incentives that could escalate the total value.

Early Life 

Hyland Deandre Jordan Jr. was born on July 21, 1988, in Houston, Texas, where he would later attend Episcopal High School and begin playing basketball.

During his junior year, Jordan transferred to Christian Life Center Academy, where he continued playing during his senior year and set the school’s record for the most blocks in a single game.

After graduation, Jordan was rated as a #8 prospect, and many schools attempted to recruit him, including Florida, Florida State, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Jordan opted to attend Texas A&M, where he earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Rookie Team and declared for the NBA draft after just a year of playing for the university.

Career Overview

In the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Jordan as the 35th overall pick. In his first season, he excelled on the court, even achieving ten dunks, which only Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal had done before.

Jordan signed multiple extensions with the Clippers, including a four-year extension worth $43 million in 2011 and another worth $80 million in 2015.

The Clippers matched the latter figure to retain Jordan after the Mavericks offered the amount to join them.

After playing for the Clippers from 2008 to 2018, Jordan joined the Dallas Mavericks for a single season but left without signing an extension to join the Brooklyn Nets.

In September 2021, Jordan signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he was waived in March 2022, causing him to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for the remainder of the season.

However, Jordan didn’t opt to re-sign with the 76ers, and in July of 2022, he signed with the Denver Nuggets, who he has remained with since.

NBA Salary

In 2008, DeAndre Jordan signed a three-year rookie contract worth $2.1 million with the LA Clippers. The deal was fully guaranteed, and Jordan earned $550,000 in his first NBA season. His salary increased to $736,000 in 2009 and $854,000 in 2010.

In 2011, Jordan was re-signed by the LA Clippers under a four-year contract worth $43 million. Over the four years, he earned an average of $10.8 million/year.

In 2015, Jordan signed a four-year contract worth $87.6 million with the Clippers, which increased his average annual salary to $21.9 million. His stint with the Clippers ended in 2017, and since then, he has played with multiple teams, including the Mavericks, Knicks, Nets, Lakers, 76ers, and Denver Nuggets.

Thus far in his NBA career, DeAndre Jordan has earned $174.3 million.

That amount was earned between eight different teams as follows:

• LA Clippers: $106.7 million

• Detroit Pistons: $15.7 million

• New York Knicks: $9.1 million

• Philadelphia 76ers: $592 thousand

Endorsements

In 2011, at age 23, DeAndre Jordan signed a multi-year shoe endorsement deal with Under Armour. The exact dollar amount was never publicly disclosed.

During Jordan’s free-agent period in 2015, the NBA fined the LA Clippers $250,000 for offering him a $200,000/year sponsorship with Lexus automaker. The offer violated the NBA’s anti-circumvention rules that prevent teams from providing or organizing compensation to players outside of their contract.

In 2018, Forbes listed Jordan as one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with an estimated endorsement income of $1 million/year.

Real Estate

Pacific Palisades Home

In 2015, Jordan paid $12.7 million for a brand new mansion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of L.A., though he sold it a year later for only $11 million for reasons never made public.

Malibu Homes

After selling his initial mansion, Jordan paid $5 million for a Malibu home but did something completely unexpected several years later. DeAndre bought a new mansion in Malibu for $10 million and sold his previous one for $5.7 million. However, a year later, in 2020, Jordan listed his newest Malibu mansion for sale with an asking price of $9.95 million, about $50k less than he initially paid.

While we’re not sure of the reason behind DeAndre’s interesting real estate choices, we suppose if you have a net worth like his, spending millions on new mansions every few years is the equivalent of buying a new pair of shoes for most people.

Estimated Net Worth

When we first researched DeAndre Jordan’s net worth in 2023, it was estimated to be $80 million. Not too much time has passed since then, but we should see his net worth increase slightly by the end of the year.
