NBA players will get their paychecks as scheduled on April 1, but the fate of salaries beyond that date is unclear, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on the night of March 20.

The next payday after April 1 would be April 15. At that point, it’s possible the NBA could cut or suspend salaries with the league still shuttered due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, according to a league memo sent Friday to the teams, Wojnarowski reported.
