What are Dillon Brooks’ career earnings?

Known for his eccentric playing style and hard-nosed defense, Dillon Brooks has made a name for himself in the NBA. In recent seasons, he has built a reputation of getting into opposition players’ heads. After six seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, where Brooks averaged 14.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, Brooks signed with the Houston Rockets in July 2023. Interestingly, the Rockets were the ones who drafted Brooks with the 45th overall pick in 2017, but was immediately traded to the Grizzlies.

Dillon Brooks Career Earnings

Due to limited information available about Brooks’ endorsement deals, we will only look at his earnings from NBA contracts.

Dillon Brooks recently signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets at the beginning of free agency, an astonishing deal considering Brooks was expecting only somewhere around $12 million per season. This new contract includes $80 million guaranteed and an average salary of $20 million per year.

For the 2023-24 NBA season, Brooks is set to earn over $22.2 million.

Before the Rockets, Brooks was on a three-year, $35 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, giving him an average salary of $11.67 million. Brooks was also given an entry-level NBA salary of around $3.8 million in his first few years in the league.

With his new contract guaranteed, Brooks career earnings from contracts stand at around $118 million. With his popularity skyrocketing, it is only a matter of time before he lands endorsement deals and investment opportunities, which will increase his career earnings significantly.
