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 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 25.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.
