As we all know the NBA, as are all professional sports, are in a state of suspension right now. When, even if, the NBA returns is a question no one can answer. While the league, its teams, its players and the union are in agreement of trying to salvage what they can of the 2019-20 season, what that will look like is unknown.
What we do know is that there is likely to be an impact for the 2020-21 season in terms of where the salary cap and luxury tax are set. After the NBA’s snafu in China, the league sent out a new cap projection for the 2020-21 season of $115 million.
