NBA cap space in 2028-29, ranked
11 of 30 teams project to have cap space for 2028-29 (projected), totalling $431.1M league-wide. On payroll alone (contracts and dead money, with cap holds removed), 27 teams sit under the cap.
One or more teams include a projected signing that is not yet official, so those figures are an estimate.
Cap space = the 2028-29 salary cap minus each team's cap salary (contracts, dead money, and cap holds for their own free agents and unsigned picks). Negative means over the cap, which is normal; those teams build with exceptions and Bird rights. Tap any number for that team's full answer.
