Former Michigan Wolverines and Williams College Ephs player, Duncan Robinson, gained a reputation as one of the best shooters in college basketball. After forgoing his college eligibility, he went undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft. Rather disappointing for him, but the Miami Heat soon saved him as they signed him not long after the Draft. 

He became the first Williams College alumna to play in the NBA. A massive deal indeed, especially when you consider his background. Coming from a small town in New Hampshire with a population of around 1,000 people, Robinson has made it big by joining the NBA. So let’s see how much he has managed to capitalize on this opportunity by breaking down his NBA contract.

What is Duncan Robinson’s current contract?

As of the 2024/25 NBA season, Duncan Robinson is in the penultimate year of his 5-year, $90 million contract with the Miami Heat. He signed this contract back in August 2021. The last year of his contract has an early termination option whose deadline expires on 6/29/2025. However, he is guaranteed a payout of around $9.8 million two days after the 2025 expires, which is estimated to be on August 7, 2025. He will become an unrestricted free agent in the 2026/27 NBA season.

When he joined the Heat in 2018, Robinson was on a two-contract with them. He would later sign a rest-of-season contract with Miami in 2019. This rest-of-season contract, which lasted till the 2020/21 season, began carrying a value of $3,090,187. Miami then extended its qualifying offer to $4.74 million, and Robinson became a restricted free agent for a short while. 

So in summary, Duncan Robinson has signed 3 contracts with the Miami Heat so far in his NBA career. But how much has he made through these contracts? Let’s see.

How much has Duncan Robinson made in his NBA career?

The easiest way for us to comprehensively understand how much Duncan Robinson has made in his career is to break it down year by year. So let’s do that! Starting with his first year as a rookie for the Miami Heat, he took home a meager $9,474 through his rookie contract. The rest-of-season contract he signed the following year saw his compensation improve significantly.

In 2019, he earned $1,328,299 and took home $1,663,861 the following year. So far, that puts Robinson at $3,001,634 earned in 3 years. This number would go up by over sixfold when he signed the contract he’s currently on with the Miami Heat. Duncan Robinson received $15,650,000 in 2021 for his efforts on the court. He saw another bump up next year, making a cool $16,902,000 in 2022.

Then his payout recorded another increment as he received $18,154,000 from his NBA contract in 2023. This season, he is set to make nearly $20 million as his contract will pay $19,406,000 for the 2024/25 NBA season. This would put his career earnings so far at a whopping $73,113,634. What’s crazy about this is that Duncan earned most of this amount in the last 4 years! 

Duncan Robinson has come a long way for sure! From going undrafted in 2018 to now being a multi-millionaire in 2025. And if his team does not activate his ETO clause later this year, Duncan will have made close to a hundred million dollars from his NBA career. What a turnaround!
