The entire Unicaja playing squad and coach Luis Casimiro have agreed to take a pay cut for the duration of the stoppage of the basketball season as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
This followed relatively brief negotiations after the announcement made on Good Friday by the board of directors that the club would be pursuing a wage cut with the state of alarm having been extended. The statement also made it clear that coaches, administrative staff and academy players (on a considerably lower salary) would remain unaffected.
Despite concerns aired by players whose contracts were set to expire, the squad unanimously agreed to a salary reduction of 10 per cent should league action resume in the coming weeks (in June if given the all-clear) and a 20 per cent reduction if no more games are played this campaign.
