D-League players are paid between $20,000-$25,000 per season and their housing is paid for.

Salaries in the NBA D-League have long been a lightning rod for debate and discussion. There are definite benefits of a player staying on the NBA’s doorstep by playing in the NBA, but the lack of compensation leads a lot of top players to head overseas for bigger paydays as well.

For the past couple seasons the salary structure in place has consisted of tiers. There were three tiers of salaries: $13,000 ©, $19,000 (B) and $25,500 (A) and each team had a salary cap of $173,000 on top of that.

A league source has told Upside & Motor the structure will be altered for the 2016/17 season. Now there will only be two tiers for salaries as the “C” has been eliminated. The new salary levels will be $19,500 (B-Level) and $26,000 (A-Level) and the salary cap will rise to $209,000 also.
