The 2026‑27 season launches on Oct. 20, and a handful of NBA clubs still need to fill two‑way roster slots.
Our two‑way contract tracker reveals each of the following teams carries a single vacancy.
- Boston Celtics
- Houston Rockets
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Milwaukee Bucks
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Sacramento Kings
- Washington Wizards. Will any of these clubs secure a deal before the season tip‑off?

Two‑way players will earn $678,882 in 2026‑27, exactly half the rookie minimum, and each NBA roster may hold up to three such contracts. For my money, that salary makes these spots especially valuable for fringe players.
