According to foreign media BasketNews, NBA players will lose more than $480 million from the league's custodial funds due to the 2024-25 basketball-related income (BRI) that did not meet expectations. According to a source familiar with the NBA's financial details, the NBA's estimated basketball-related revenue (BRI) in the 2024-25 season is $10.25 billion.

sports business website Sportico said that this number (estimating basketball-related income, BRI) is crucial to players because it determines how much they can actually retain in their salary last season.

As the highest-paid player in the NBA in the 2024-25 season (about $55.8 million), Curry lost the most - about $5.1 million. Other players whose salaries are reduced include: Embiid ($4.7 million), Jokic ($4.7 million), Bill ($4.6 million), and Durant ($4.5 million). The

Labor and Capital Agreement stipulates that the league will detain 10% of the player's salary each season to maintain a 51-49 income share between the player and the team's boss. As the league failed to meet its income target, players ended up being able to get 90.9% of their salary. For the 2024-25 season, about 91% of the 10% of the funds temporarily deducted in the custodial account are being returned to each team, and only 9% are redistributed to players.
