Okay, so the other day, I was down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how those 10-day contracts in the NBA work. Specifically, I wanted to know, “how much is a 10-day contract in the nba”? You know, how much do these guys actually make for that short stint?

First, I started poking around, you know, just casually searching. I figured there had to be a simple answer somewhere.
What I found was * 10-day contracts, they’re not all the same. Turns out, it depends on how long a player’s been in the league. It is all about their experience.
Digging into the Details
I did some more digging and found some solid numbers. Apparently for the next season (2024-25), the contracts will run anywhere from around $66,503 to $189,872. The more seasons a player has under his belt, the fatter that 10-day paycheck is.
- Rookies or newer players: These guys are looking at the lower end of the scale.
- Seasoned Veterans: these are making significantly more. Makes sense, right?
So, I went from just wondering to actually having a pretty good grasp on the numbers. It’s not a set amount, It is based on a player’s time in the NBA.
