10-Day Contract Update

Since February 6th, NBA teams have been permitted to sign free agents to 10-day contracts, providing roster depth and an opportunity to get a brief look at a new player. Teams are allowed to sign a player to two 10-day contracts (not necessarily consecutively). After those two deals expire, the player must be signed for the remainder of the season or become a free agent.

A number of teams have taken advantage of 10-day contracts over the last few weeks, so let's catch up on the status of the players who have signed these temporary deals this season:
