History

Historical Context

The 2017 collective bargaining agreement created two-way contracts, letting each NBA team assign two players to the G League while paying them a higher salary than standard G-League deals. The 2023 CBA later expanded those slots to three per team, reinforcing the league’s pipeline for undrafted talent. This framework underpins recent two-way signings by franchises such as the Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers.
