the 2017 collective bargaining agreement for the nba, which took effect with the 2017–18 season, included changes allowing each nba team to sign two players to two-way contracts. these players will spend the majority of their time on a team's g league roster, but can freely move to their respective nba team for up to 45 days in the regular season, as well as be a part of the team's roster before the start of the season (including nba training camps) and after the conclusion of the g league's regular season (though they are not allowed to be on a team's playoff roster or play in a playoff game). only players with four or less years of nba experience are eligible for two-way contracts. unlike other g league players, who can be called up by any nba team, two-way players can only be called up by their contracted nba team. players under two-way contracts are not counted against the nba team's regular roster limit, and can be assigned to a g league affiliate for development while also getting a larger salary whenever they are called up to the parent team. for teams that do not have a one-to-one affiliation with a g league team, a process similar to the "flexible assignment" rule is being used to determine the placement for their own two-way contracts in the g league until every team has their proper affiliation underway. in addition, salaries for two-way players are much higher than those for regular g league players. as of the 2017–18 season, g league players who are not on two-way contracts earn either $19,500 or $26,000 during the league's season. by contrast, two-way players' salaries while in the g league, which are pro-rated according to the number of days the player is with his g league team, are based on an annual salary between $50,000 and $75,000, and while these players are with their nba team, they will earn a pro-rated portion of the nba minimum rookie salary (which was $815,615 in the 2017–18 season).
