Mikel Brown Jr Contract & Salary

Mikel Brown Jr is on the books for $8,787,000 in 2026-27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Brooklyn Nets roster and 5.5% of the team's $160.1M payroll.

That ranks 192nd among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 5.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $39,935,580 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $8,787,000 in the first year up to $12,256,440 in the last, a 39% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option, 2029-30 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 20, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-23 season, before the expensive years start.

He is the 7th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Brooklyn Nets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $160,056,358.

Brooklyn Nets sit at $160.1M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$49.0M of room below the first apron.
