What happened

NBA champions do not receive a direct team prize, but players share postseason bonuses from a league pool. For the 2025-26 season, that could mean about $850,000 per player and roughly $12.8 million in total playoff bonuses for the title team.

  • 01NBA title bonuses go directly to players, not team owners.
