The 2022-23 NBA Salary Cap is expected to come in at $123.6 million. That represents an $11.6 million increase over the 2021-22 cap. The news comes courtesy of Tim Bontemps of ESPN.
The NBA Salary Cap is determined by a percentage of “Basketball-Related Income” (or BRI) each season, basically a summation of the aggregate revenue the league takes in each year. 44.74% of BRI goes to the players as the foundation of the cap. Teams can exceed cap limits through cap exceptions, but NBA players, as a whole, must receive at least the designated percentage of total, basketball-related league income.
