Ever since Darius Bazley’s 10-day contract expired earlier this month, the shorthanded Sixers have been running with only 13 players on standard contracts and two open roster spots. That’s bound to change sometime this week, though.
The NBA’s collective bargaining agreement requires teams to have at least 14 players signed to standard contracts (aka, not two-way deals) from the first day of the regular season through the final day of their respective seasons. Teams can dip down to 12 or 13 players on standard contracts for only two weeks at a time, but no more than 28 days in total throughout a season.
