The deadline for NBA teams to sign players to two-way contracts was Monday, March 4. Since that deadline has now passed, no two-way deals can be signed between now and the end of the 2023/24 league year. Clubs will be permitted to begin signing two-way contracts for the ’24/25 season on July 1.
Under the NBA’s previous Collective Bargaining Agreement, two-way signings weren’t permitted after January 15. Teams took advantage of the extended window to complete two-way deals this season, completing 29 of them between the February 8 trade deadline and Monday’s deadline. During that same period, teams promoted 17 players from two-way contracts to standard deals.
There were only seven teams – the Celtics, Nuggets, Rockets, Clippers, Timberwolves, Magic, 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. An eighth team – the Knicks – made a pair of two-way transactions but ended up with the same three two-way players under contract.
As our tracker shows, all 90 two-way slots around the NBA are now filled.
Still, that doesn’t mean the 90 players that are currently on two-way contracts will all finish the season on those deals. There are still a handful of two-way players who could receive standard deals before the regular season ends. The Celtics and Suns, for instance, are two teams who have open spots on their 15-man rosters and legitimate candidates for promotions (Neemias Queta and Saben Lee, respectively).
A team can promote one of its two-way players to its standard roster at any time between now and the end of the season — that team simply wouldn’t be permitted to sign a new player to fill the empty two-way slot.
