According to “The Athletic” the NBA updated the projection for the salary cap for the 2027-28 season.
The new projection is $2M higher than the previous one, giving the teams even more money to spend.
To be exact, the projection is $176M for the salary cap and $213M for the luxury tax line.
Practically, this means that the players whose max-contract extensions are tied to the 2027-28 cap number, most notably Victor Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will get more money.
Plus, the new projection increases the max salary for potential 2027 free agents such as Nikola Jokic and Jalen Duren. It’s expected that since the new $10B television rights agreement has kicked in, the salary cap will raise almost by 10% every season.
