Deadline To Sign Players To Two-Way Contracts Has Passed

That’s because the deadline to sign players to two-way contracts came and went on Tuesday. Not a big surprise, given that the G League season is coming to a close, as is the NBA regular season. There are just 20-ish games left for teams that compete in the latter.

Two-way contracts allow players to play in both. Anyone currently on a two-way deal, of course, can just stay there. You’re just not allowed to add any such players.

This year, the window to sign two-way dudes was extended, as relayed by Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors.

“Under the NBA’s previous Collective Bargaining Agreement, two-way signings weren’t permitted after January 15,” Adams wrote. “Teams took advantage of the extended window to complete two-way deals this season, finalizing 30 of them between the February 6 trade deadline and Tuesday’s deadline. During that same period, teams promoted 16 players from two-way contracts to standard deals and made two waiver claims on two-way players.”

Some teams didn’t mess with their two-ways at all. Now, none of them can.

“There were nine teams — the Nuggets, Pistons, Pacers, Grizzlies, Heat, Suns, Kings, Spurs, and Jazz — that didn’t make any moves involving their two-way players between last month’s trade deadline and the two-way signing deadline,” Adams wrote. “The other 21 clubs were active.”
