Hornets sign Amari Bailey to two-way contract

The Charlotte Hornets announced that second round pick Amari Bailey is signing a two-way contract.

NBA teams are allotted three two-way spots this season, up from two for the first several years of the function’s existence. Leaky Black signed to one after the draft, and Theo Maledon seems destined to take the other once his restricted free agency is resolved.

Two-way contracts are effectively development contracts where a player splits his time between the NBA club and their G League affiliate, which in this case would be the Greensboro Swarm.
