In an effort to add roster depth in the condensed 2020-21 regular season, the NBA overhauled the rules tied to two-way contracts. The 45-day limit was abandoned, the contract conversion deadline was removed, and the pay scale for players was re-tooled. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the majority of those alterations will remain in place moving forward.
Subject to a final agreement with the NBA, players have agreed to keep a majority of the current Two-Way rules for the 2021-22 season, sources tell ESPN. The one change is that a Two-Way player is not eligible for the 2022 playoffs unless his contract is converted.
