NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that the NBA plans to remove the 50-game limit on all two-way contracts for the remaining season and postseason. This move will essentially open up an additional two roster spots on all NBA teams. Many teams have found themselves shorthanded as their players have battled the COVID-19 pandemic and injuries.
Sources: The NBA and NBPA are planning to eliminate the 50-game limit for two-way contract players this season and to allow two-way players to be eligible for the playoffs, pending Board approval.

This has been a move long in the works, as the NBA was reportedly flirting with the idea of adding an additional roster spot or two to NBA teams a few months ago.
