The players already gave up their final paycheques for the 2019-20 season, in addition to all the money that was withheld for escrow prior to the stoppage of play.

I believe they get paid 13 times a season (15th and 30th of every month from October to March, plus a final cheque in mid-April), so that's just under 8% for the final cheque, plus whatever else they had already lost to escrow.

Also, escrow for 2020-21 is already set at 20%, so this is the exact same rollback (percentage-wise at least) as what the players have already agreed to. Unless there's a miracle recovery next season, the true amount owed to escrow will likely far exceed 20%, but that will be paid back by the players over multiple years.
