NBA Considering Adding An Extra Two-Way Spot

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are in talks to potentially add a third two-way spot to help teams weather COVID-19 outbreaks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The league has already made changes to how two-way players — who do not impact team salary sheets — can be activated this season, increasing the number of games they can appear in to 50.

Significant discussion on league's call with general managers today about expanding rosters by allowing a third two-way contract slot this season, sources tell ESPN. That'll have to be worked out with NBPA, but there's momentum toward it.
