Thanks, in part, to the NBA’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement, a Charlotte Hornets organizational first was officially achieved on Wednesday morning with the signings of Marcus Paige and Mangok Mathiang to the franchise’s first-ever two-way contracts. Starting this season, each team will be permitted to carry two extra players inked exclusively to these said deals, allowing signees to spend a maximum of 45 days on the NBA roster with the rest of their time spent in the G-League.
