Per the Athletic’s Shams Charania, the NBA announced the salary cap for the 2023-23 NBA season is projected to be $134 million, about $10.4 million higher than this season, with a $162 million tax level. Both figures are $1 million higher than previous projections, which is sure to be welcomed by a Boston Celtics franchise with designs on contending over that period.
Charania indicated the league has a working framework for a potential, long-rumored in-season tournament. The Athletic NBA insider reported the tournament would take place in November as part of the league’s regular 82-game season. Other details are still to be ironed out between the league and the National Basketball Players Association.
It was also reported by Charania that eight teams would advance to a single-elimination final stage in December, with the two last teams left playing one extra game over the usual 82.

With Opening Night almost upon us and the Boston Celtics set to kick off their 2022-23 NBA regular season against their Atlantic Division rival Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at TD Garden, the Celtics have their regular season roster set, having culled their roster to the league maximum of 15 regular players and two two way prospects.
With the moves comes some clarity about what the team will be paying whom at the start of their campaign to win Banner 18 this summer. The players and their salaries can of course change via trades, cuts, and signings between now and the start of the 2023 NBA Playoffs when rosters are set for the postseason, but for the present, we have a Celtics roster set for the regular season.
Let’s take a look at who made the cut, and how much they will be earning.
