Trayce Jackson-Davis 2025: Net Worth, Contract, Salary, Endorsements

Early Career

Trayce Jackson-Davis’s basketball journey began in Greenwood, Indiana, where he grew up surrounded by the sport’s influence.

His father, Dale Davis, enjoyed a 17-year NBA career, including an All-Star season with the Indiana Pacers. This family legacy fueled Trayce’s passion, and by middle school, he was already turning heads at Center Grove High School. Coach Zach Hahn, who took over the program when Jackson-Davis was in eighth grade, recognized his potential early, promoting him to varsity as a freshman.

During his junior year at Center Grove (2017–18), Trayce dominated with 21.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 4.1 blocks per game, leading the Trojans to a 20-win season and sectional titles. His AAU performances with the Spiece Indy Heat further solidified his reputation, averaging 19.1 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting 59% from the field.

By his senior year, he became a McDonald’s All-American and Indiana’s Mr. Basketball (2019), finishing with a school-record 1,802 career points. He capped his prep career by guiding Center Grove to a 21–8 record and a Class 4A state semifinal appearance, averaging 21.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks through 29 games.

Jackson-Davis’s success wasn’t limited to the court. He maintained a B average academically and volunteered as a youth basketball coach and at the Wheeler Mission Center, serving Indianapolis’ homeless community. His leadership and humility earned praise from coaches, including Hahn, who highlighted his “passion, unity, and servanthood” as defining traits.

Choosing Indiana University over Michigan State and UCLA, Trayce quickly became a cornerstone of the Hoosiers’ program. As a freshman, he earned All-Big Ten and All-Freshman Team honors, averaging 13.5 points and 8.4 rebounds.

By his sophomore year, those numbers jumped to 19.1 points and 9.0 rebounds, landing him on multiple All-American lists. His junior season saw him named to the All-Big Ten and All-Defensive teams, but it was his senior year (2022–23) that cemented his legacy: 20.9 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.9 blocks per game, making him a consensus First-Team All-American.

Off the court, Jackson-Davis capitalized on NCAA’s NIL reforms, securing deals worth $893,000, including partnerships with Adidas and Merchants Bank of Indiana. He also launched a “Hometown Hero” shirsey line through Campus Ink, donating $5 from each sale to Center Grove High School.

His decision to stay all four years at Indiana—rare for top prospects—showcased his loyalty and desire to refine his game. As he often stated, the college grind prepared him to “outwork older guys” in the NBA, blending polished post moves with defensive instincts honed under coach Mike Woodson, a former NBA head coach.

Professional Career

Trayce Jackson-Davis’s NBA journey began when the Washington Wizards selected him 57th overall in the 2023 draft, but he quickly landed with the Golden State Warriors via a draft-night trade. Signing a four-year, $7.64 million rookie contract with $3.01 million guaranteed, he entered the league as a second-round steal. His debut on October 27, 2023, saw limited action, but by his third game, he exploded for 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks against the New Orleans Pelicans, showcasing his defensive versatility.

The 2023–24 season cemented his role as a rotational big. On December 19, he notched his first double-double (10 points, 13 rebounds) in a thrilling overtime win against the Boston Celtics, followed by another (10 points, 15 rebounds) against his draft-night team, the Wizards, three days later. A March 2024 showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks highlighted his defensive impact: 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks, including three rejections against Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He finished his rookie year averaging 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks over 68 games, ranking fourth among rookies in blocks. Entering 2024–25, Jackson-Davis earned 37 starts in 54 games, averaging 6.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game. Though his scoring dipped slightly, his playmaking improved (1.8 assists per game), and he remained a lob threat for Stephen Curry and Chris Paul.

A March 2025 assignment to the G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors reflected Golden State’s long-term vision—giving him reps to refine his face-up game and perimeter defense. As he noted, the move wasn’t a demotion but a chance to “stay sharp” during rotational adjustments. Financially, his contract includes team options for 2025–26 ($2.22 million) and 2026–27 ($2.41 million), offering flexibility for both player and team.

With career totals of 918 points, 636 rebounds, and 114 blocks through March 2025, Jackson-Davis has solidified his niche as a high-energy rim protector and efficient finisher (64.2% FG). His development trajectory—from a draft-night afterthought to a trusted rotation piece—underscores the Warriors’ knack for nurturing undervalued talent.
