Since NBA players are paid in 24 equal installments throughout the year, today is the first day that guys are missing paychecks for the 2011-22 season. Unfortunately, that money isn’t being reimbursed whenever the lockout does eventually end. Given that 60% of NBA players go bankrupt five years after they retire, every lost paycheck exacerbates their need for a new labor deal. Here’s an idea of what some notable players lost today (and will continue to lose every two weeks until a new CBA is reached). The totals are gross amounts that don’t take into account taxes or escrow payments.
