NBA players are given a sweetheart deal on the amount of salary held in escrow.

As part of the NBA's negotiations with the players to agree to a December 22nd start date, they made the concession to spread the anticipated loss of revenues due to COVID-19 for players over multiple seasons instead of strictly during the 20-21 season. The league will withhold approximately 17 percent of player salaries in escrow while the actual drop in revenue will be closer to 40 percent.

It looks like we are in business. The NBA season will start December 22nd.


By Tim Bontemps and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN:


The NBA and players' union have reached an agreement in principle on the start of the 2020-21 season, as well as an amended collective bargaining agreement, the two sides announced Monday night.

The deal calls for free agency to begin at 6 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 20, two days after next week's NBA draft.

As was agreed to last week, the regular season will begin Dec. 22, and the schedule will be 72 games.
