Can two-way contracts be converted into standard NBA contracts?

Two-way contracts can indeed be converted into standard NBA contracts. A two-way contract allows a player to spend time with an NBA team and the team's G-League affiliate, providing flexibility for player development and team management.

The NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that a player on a two-way contract can be promoted to a standard NBA contract at any time during the season. This typically occurs when the team wants to make use of the player more extensively or if the player's performance warrants a full-time roster spot. Such a conversion allows the team to better integrate the player into their roster, particularly if the player demonstrates significant skill and potential during their time with the G-League.

The other options present scenarios that do not align with the rules governing two-way contracts in the NBA. Therefore, the ability to convert a two-way contract into a standard one reflects the NBA's approach to managing player development while maintaining team flexibility.
