how do two way contracts work in the nba
Two-way contract Beginning in the 2017–18 season, the National Basketball Association added two-way contracts between NBA teams and their NBA G League affiliates.[5] Excluding time spent before and after the G League's season begins and ends, players on two-way contracts can spend up to 45 days in the NBA while spending the rest of the season in the G League.[6][7] As of the 2017–18 season, players earn $75,000 while they are in the G League and roughly $204,000 if they spend 45 days in the NBA.[7]
Kevin Durant On July 4, 2016, Durant announced his intentions to sign with the Golden State Warriors in a Players' Tribune piece titled "My Next Chapter."[87][88][89] The move was received negatively by the public and NBA analysts, with many comparing the move to LeBron James's 2010 off-season departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat.[90] On July 7, he officially signed with the Warriors on a two-year, $54.3 million contract with a player option after the first year.[91][92][93]
NBA Finals The NBA Finals is the annual championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winners of the Finals are awarded the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.
Basketball Games are played in four quarters of 10 (FIBA)[34] or 12 minutes (NBA).[35] College men's games use two 20-minute halves,[36] college women's games use 10-minute quarters,[37] and United States high school varsity games use 8 minute quarters.[38] 15 minutes are allowed for a half-time break under FIBA, NBA, and NCAA rules[36][39][40] and 10 minutes in United States high schools.[38] Overtime periods are five minutes in length[36][41][42] except for high school, which is four minutes in length.[38] Teams exchange baskets for the second half. The time allowed is actual playing time; the clock is stopped while the play is not active. Therefore, games generally take much longer to complete than the allotted game time, typically about two hours.
