The NBA salary cap for the 2017-18 season will not be as high as recently projected, with $99 million the likely number, according to Jay King of MassLive.com. Owners had previously expected the number to be somewhere in the $102 million range.
This past season, the league operated with the salary cap at $94.14 million, with a luxury tax limit of $113.29 million. Franchises are required to spend at least 90 percent of the cap, which put the salary floor at $84.73 million last year.
