The NBA and NBPA agreed to extend the moratorium period indefinitely on all transactions, including trades and contract options, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Both parties reportedly originally agreed one day after the campaign was suspended to freeze all business until April 10.

The NBA will reportedly pay its players their full paychecks on April 15 despite the fact it was believed to have asked them to take a 50% reduction beginning in next week's pay period.

The possibility of withholding up to 25% of players' remaining salaries in a league escrow was also apparently discussed by the NBA and NBPA.
