Nique Clifford Contract & Salary

That ranks 315th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 2.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $12,661,681 in guaranteed money.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 team option, 2028-29 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.
