Prior to the 2017/18 season, the NBA expanded rosters from 15 to 17 players and introduced “Two-Way Contracts”.
Only players with 4 or fewer years of service in the NBA are eligible to sign two-way contracts (1 or 2 seasons in duration). Players under a two-way contract spend the majority of the season in the G League but can be called up to their NBA team for a maximum of 45 days.
Two-way players earn $77,250, prorated for time spent on their G League roster. For time in the NBA, players will be paid the rookie minimum salary ($898,310), again prorated for the days they’re called up for. The maximum potential earnings for two-way players is $385,000.
The salaries of two-way players do not count towards the NBA salary cap. Two can be signed by each NBA team, by the deadline of January 15. They cannot feature in NBA playoff games.
Two-way contracts can be converted to regular contracts should the player impress.
