We compiled the highest-paid players in the NBA's "bubble" in Disney World, where the 2019-20 season will resume.
Our list does not include players whose teams aren't in the bubble and players who did not join their teams in the bubble, like John Wall and Kevin Durant.
Chris Paul is the highest-paid player in base salary at $38.5 million.

Many of the NBA's biggest and highest-paid stars are resuming play on Thursday when the league finishes its season in a "bubble" in Disney World.

We took a look at the highest-paid stars in the bubble, based on Spotrac's list of base salaries. We left off players whose teams are not in the bubble and players who are not joining their teams in the bubble.

With Stephen Curry not participating, Chris Paul, the leader of the players union, is the highest-paid player in the bubble. See who else is on the list below.
