Team attendants, equipment assistants, and locker room support staff—often colloquially referred to as waterboys—working within the National Basketball Association typically earn modest hourly wages or entry-level annual salaries. Rather than commanding massive professional athlete compensation packages, support staff positions generally range from minimum wage up to roughly 30,000 to 45,000 dollars annually depending on the franchise, full-time status, and hours dedicated to practices, home games, and traveling support duties.
