NEW YORK: The salary cap for each NBA club for the 2016-2017 season has been set at $94.14 million, the league announced on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), also establishing a minimum payroll of $84.72 million per team.

Also set for next season was the tax level limit of $113.28 million. While many teams can spill over the salary cap due to exceptions, fewer crack the higher level, which imposes a tax upon clubs for every dollar spent above that total payroll mark.
