As an expert in sports economics, I can provide you with an informed answer regarding the NBA salary cap for the 2017 season. The salary cap is determined by the league's basketball-related income (BRI) and is subject to change based on various financial factors.

For the 2017-2018 NBA season, the salary cap was set at $99.093 million. This figure is important because it dictates the maximum amount a team can spend on player salaries. Teams that exceed this cap may face financial penalties, although there are exceptions and mechanisms in place that allow teams to go over the cap under certain circumstances.

Please note that the salary cap can vary from year to year, and the figure for 2017 specifically might be slightly different from the 2017-2018 season figure I provided. However, without access to real-time or historical databases, I can't provide the exact figure for 2017 alone.
