After a successful 11-year career as an NBA journeyman, Tyronn Lue decided it was time to end his playing days and start impacting the game from the sidelines. Nowadays, he’s the leading man for one of the most expensive starting lineups in NBA history.
But how much does this player-turned-coach make? In this post, we discuss Lue’s salary, his net worth, his coaching record, and more.
Tyronn Lue Contract And Salary
In May, the Clippers and Lue agreed to a five-year, 70-million dollar extension that will keep him in Los Angeles through the 2028-29 season. The average annual value of Lue’s deal (14 million per year) puts him in rarified air among NBA head coaches.
As of right now, the only coaches that get paid more per year than Lue are Steve Kerr (17.5 million), Gregg Popovich (16 million), and Erik Spoelstra (15 million).
Tyronn Lue Playing Career Earnings
As we mentioned earlier, Lue spent 11 seasons in the NBA, playing with seven different teams during that time (most notably with the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards).
According to HoopsHype, during his playing days, Lue made roughly 21.4 million dollars. If you adjust that for inflation, that equates to about 33.7 million dollars today.
Tyronn Lue Net Worth
According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Lue’s net worth is estimated to be around 25 million dollars. As we already discussed, he made quite a bit during his playing days. So, that probably contributes a great deal to his current fortune.
The rest of that wealth likely comes from his time as an NBA coach. Lue has been coaching at the NBA level since 2011 when he got his first gig as an assistant coach on the Boston Celtics. After four seasons of being an assistant coach with three different teams, Lue got his first chance at being a head coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers (who he guided to a title in his first season).
From there, Lue eventually moved on to his current role with the Clippers. He spent one season in Los Angeles as an assistant before officially being named head coach in 2020.
Tyronn Lue Head Coaching Record
In 529 career games, Lue’s regular season head coaching record currently sits at 312-217 (win percentage of 59.0%). With those marks, Lue sits at 73rd all-time in wins and 32nd in all-time in win percentage.
In terms of the playoffs, Lue’s record sits at 54-37 (59.3%). That gives him the 23rd most wins in playoff history and the 15th-best win percentage.
Tyronn Lue Wife
As of writing this, Lue is unmarried and does not have any children. However, he is distant cousins with NBA star Jayson Tatum.
