While most NBA players have fully guaranteed salaries for the 2018/19 season, that rule of thumb doesn’t apply to everyone on a standard NBA contract — not yet, at least.
A number of players who earned regular season roster spots as camp invitees or whose contracts included a non-guaranteed season or two won’t lock in their full-season salaries until January 10, 2018. That’s the day that all players under contract have their salaries fully guaranteed for the rest of the 2018/19 season.
Keeping that in mind, we’re using the space below to keep tabs on the players on each NBA team who don’t have fully guaranteed contracts, using information from Basketball Insiders. The players listed here have non-guaranteed salaries, partially guaranteed salaries, or Exhibit 9 or Exhibit 10 contracts, which essentially function like non-guaranteed deals.
Unless otherwise noted, these players are on minimum salary contracts. Some players on this list have partial guarantees, which we’ve also mentioned below.
Only players who have formally signed contracts are listed below, so if a player has reportedly reached an agreement with a team on a non-guaranteed deal, we’ll add him to our list when that deal becomes official. You can use our roster counts page to find those players whose deals have been reported but not finalized.
Without further ado, here’s the full list of players without fully guaranteed salaries for 2018/19, broken down by team:
