Numbers for the projected 2023-24 NBA salary cap and tax level have been released ahead of the start of the 2022-23 season. It is never too early to start looking ahead in the NBA and while the 2022-23 season has yet to begin, salary cap and tax level numbers are already being projected for the 2023-24 season. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the NBA has begun to inform teams that the 2023-24 salary
cap is currently projected to be around $134 million with a $162 million tax level. Not only are these numbers $1 million higher than previous projections for the future, but these numbers are great increases from the 2022-23 season. Should these projections hold, the salary cap for the 2023-24 season will increase by about $10.4 million compared to this year. The increase in revenue over the years and recovery the league has made from the pandemic has been remarkable and these cap
projections for the 2023-24 season could have great impacts on what happens in free agency following this upcoming season. James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Khris Middleton, Kristaps Porzingis, D’Angelo Russell and Andrew Wiggins are all big names that could hit the free agent market following this upcoming 2022-23 season and with the projected increase to the salary cap, teams could wind up being more competitive to sign these All-Star talents. This offseason, a total of over $1.5 billion was given out in new contracts and many have stated that this free agent class was weaker than year’s past. With more money coming into the league and teams having more and more money to spend every offseason in free agency, we should expect the amount of guaranteed money spent in free agency to continue increasing.

NEW YORK -- The NBA told its teams Friday that it still expects to see a significant jump in the salary cap and tax level in the 2023-24 season. Based on current projections, both figures -- $134 million for the salary cap, $162 million as the tax level -- would set records, and both are $1 million higher than the league's most recent projections made in June. The figures represent the cap rising 8.4% and the tax level 7.8% over the 2022-23 season. The 2022-23 season has a salary cap of $123.655 million and a tax level of $150.267 million. Also Friday, the league told teams that total luxury tax payments for the coming season would be around $660 million, half of which would fund revenue sharing and the other half distributed in equal shares -- about $17 million each -- to teams not currently projected to have to pay the tax. But that tax number can, and almost certainly will, fluctuate wildly before a final calculation is made at the end of the regular season. Training camps in the NBA begin later this month, with the regular season starting Oct. 18.

It rose to $109.1 million for 2019-20 but stayed there for 2020-21 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it's now set to grow by $25 million over a two-year span after the NBA returned to full force in 2021-22 following a pair of pandemic-shortened campaigns. 🚨 SPORTS NEWS ➡️ YOUR INBOXThe latest in the sports world, emailed daily.
