About 100 of the NBA’s top-earning executives will have their salaries reduced by 20 percent in response to the hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. NBA commissioner Adam Silver and deputy Mark Tatum are among the executives who will have their salaries reduced.

“These are unprecedented times and, like other companies across all industries, we need to take short-term steps to deal with the harsh economic impact on our business and organization,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass told Wojnarowski.
