    Russell did not play at all after being traded to the Wizards at the February deadline, and he was sent to Memphis as part of a six-team deal in early July. Even with the Grizzlies trading Ja Morant to Portland, D’Lo is not in the team’s plans moving forward. As a result, the two sides are reportedly working together to find Russell a new home, either through a trade or a contract buyout. Russell is entering the final year of a contract that will pay him slightly less than $6 million. While a capable player, D’Lo is unlikely to land in a situation where he can be fantasy-relevant next season.
  • NOP Guard-Forward
    Selected by the Pelicans with the 58th overall pick in last month’s draft, Pierre averaged 10.0 points per game in three appearances in Las Vegas. While he didn’t shoot the ball well, making just 27 percent from the field, the rookie wing is coming off a senior season at SMU in which he averaged 17.6 points per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. New Orleans now has one available two-way slot, with Hunter Dickinson already under contract.
  • SAS Forward #14
    Not selected in the 2024 draft, Miller appeared in 11 NBA games over two seasons with the Bulls before being traded to the Cavaliers as part of a three-team deal in February. Cleveland would waive him on February 20, with the Spurs signing him to a two-way contract three days later. Miller’s departure from San Antonio was matched by the team signing David Jones Garcia to another two-way deal. Rookies Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Maliq Brown occupy the other two-way contract slots.
  • Jones Garcia will be on a two-way contract for the third consecutive season, spending his rookie campaign with the Jazz before moving to San Antonio ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. He appeared in 11 NBA games last season, averaging 6.2 minutes per appearance. Given the Spurs’ perimeter depth, Jones Garcia’s NBA opportunities are likely to be limited when the team is healthy.
  • IND Forward #18
    Slawson finished last season out with Indiana and was productive for them during summer league this month. That was enough for them to reward the 2023 second-round pick with a two-way deal. However, with Indiana set to return to contention this upcoming season, Slawson won’t match the 23.9 minutes per game that he played during his 13 games in March and April last season.
  • ATL Forward #22
    The 51st overall pick in the 2023 draft, Wilson spent three seasons in Brooklyn before becoming a free agent this summer. The 6-foot-6 wing appeared in 55 games in 2025-26, averaging 6.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 15.9 minutes. Wilson fills Atlanta’s third two-way contract slot, joining Keshon Gilbert and RayJ Dennis. He is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, especially after the Hawks acquired Luguentz Dort from Oklahoma City.
  • LAL Small Forward
    Kaluma spent his first professional season with the Lakers’ G League affiliate after going undrafted in the 2025 draft. A solid season with South Bay was followed by a good showing this summer with the Lakers’ summer league team, which led to Monday’s transaction. Kaluma’s addition to the roster won’t affect fantasy basketball, but the two-way deal gives him a little more security as training camp approaches. The Lakers already had three players on two-way deals, so Kaluma’s addition will come at the expense of Chris Mañon, AK Okereke or Peter Suder.
  • DAL Guard #13
    Not long after the Mavericks waived forward Tyler Smith, opening up a two-way contract slot, the franchise filled the vacancy by signing Howard. The 11th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Howard failed to earn consistent rotation minutes in his three seasons with the Magic. He appeared in 55 games last season, averaging 5.5 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.6 minutes. Howard shot the ball reasonably well from beyond the arc, making 37.2 percent of his attempts. He joins John Poulakidis and Tobi Lawal as two-way contract players on the Mavericks roster.
  • FA Guard #4
    The 54th overall pick in the 2025 draft, Peter was on a two-way deal with the Pacers as a rookie. Indiana’s many injuries factored into the guard appearing in 38 games, and he averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.9 minutes. Monday’s transaction will free up a two-way slot for the Pacers, who now have Ethan Thompson and Kobe Brown signed to such deals.
  • FA Forward #23
    The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, Smith appeared in 23 games as a rookie in Milwaukee before joining Dallas on a two-way deal last summer. The 6-foot-9 forward played 12 games for the Mavericks last season, averaging 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes. Smith’s exit frees up a two-way contract slot for the Mavericks, who currently have John Poulakidis and Tobi Lawal under such contracts.
