Jacob Pullen will take the stairs if he has to.
The 27-year-old is determined to make an NBA roster, and he doesn’t care how he gets there.
So, instead of accepting another lucrative contract to remain overseas, the 6-foot-1 point guard on Saturday had his deal with the 76ers converted into a two-way deal.
NBA rosters expanded from 15 to 17 players this season, and the final two spots are for two-way players who can go between the NBA and the G-League, formerly the NBA Development.
An issue is that NBA teams are allowed to bring two-way players up for a maximum of 45 days.
