LaMelo Ball Contract & Salary

LaMelo Ball is on the books for $41,240,250 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster and 19.3% of the team's $213.3M payroll.

That ranks 36th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 25.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.
