Additionally, the players project to have earned $20 million more than their share of basketball related income. The NBA will recoup that $ from escrow (the 10% that's withheld all year from player checks)

The final salary cap amount gets locked in after both the NBA and the Players Association complete their season-ending audits. The results of those audits and the final accounting on the NBA Playoffs can impact the projected salary cap values.
