NBA salary cap and luxury tax line rise, delighting Joe Lacob

After a few slow years of growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NBA salary cap is going up significantly in 2022-23. And much to the delight of both co-favorites for the 2022-23 title, so is the luxury tax line, meaning that the repeater penalties for the Golden State Warriors won’t be quite as punitive as they feared.

New ESPN story: The NBA’s salary cap for the 2022-23 season is projected to come in right around $123.6 million, sources said, a more than $11 million jump from last season.
