Yves Missi Contract & Salary

Yves Missi is on the books for $3,512,760 in 2026–27, the 11th largest cap hit on the New Orleans Pelicans roster and 1.8% of the team's $196.2M payroll.

That ranks 307th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 2.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $9,108,587 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $3,512,760 in the first year up to $5,595,827 in the last, a 59% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 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 22, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-23 season, before the expensive years start.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

He is one of 15 players on the New Orleans Pelicans' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $196,221,049.

New Orleans Pelicans sit at $196.2M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$5.7M of room below the first apron.
