The NBA is reducing the base salaries for around 100 of its top-earning league office executives by 20%, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The salary reductions include commissioner Adam Silver and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum, per ESPN. There will not be widespread cuts to the rest of the NBA organization.
“These are unprecedented times and, like other companies across all industries, we need to take short-term steps to deal with the harsh economic impact on our business and organization," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement to ESPN.
The move comes at a time with a heightened sense of uncertainty throughout various sports leagues as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
