Most NBA rosters are filled with a couple of high-dollar stars, a number of mid-level players, young players on rookie deals, and then a few veteran minimum contracts to round things out.
However, once the season begins and players start to get injured, roster flexibility becomes important, and fill-in players can be given a shot using a ten-day contract. Players like Seth Curry and Hassan Whiteside once played on 10-day contracts.
How Much is an NBA 10-Day Contract
NBA 10-day contracts ranged from $61,000 to $175,000 and last exactly 10 days.
The exact dollar value of the contract is determined by the player’s experience and years in the NBA. After a 10-day contract, the team must choose to keep the player on the squad or release him.
