2020-21 NBA SALARY CAP INFO
November 10, 2020

A new system will be used to ensure the parties agreed-upon split of basketball-related income (BRI). In the event player compensation were to exceed the players designated share in any season, necessary salary reductions beyond the standard 10 percent escrow would be spread across that season and potentially the following two seasons, subject to a maximum salary reduction in any season of 20 percent. For the 2020-21 season, the Salary Cap will be $109.140 million and the Tax Level will be $132.627 million. In subsequent seasons of the CBA, the Salary Cap and Tax Level will increase by a minimum of three percent and a maximum of 10 percent over the prior season. Teams Tax payments will be reduced in proportion to any BRI decreases.

And per ESPN.com: "The salary cap is going to be guaranteed to go up by a minimum of 3% per year -- and a maximum of 10% -- through the remainder of the collective bargaining agreement. The two sides also came up with a compromise on the escrow system to spread the losses out across multiple seasons. The typical escrow withholding of 10% will remain in place. If there is a need to reduce player salaries by more than that 10%, that loss will be spread out over that season, as well as the following two -- and players can never have more than 20% of their salary withheld in a single season. The hope on both sides is that future seasons will see the league be able to return to normal financial footing as the pandemic subsides."
