By my count (it can be somewhat tricky to track down games on the active list), the following Two-Way players have <=10 active NBA games remaining:
T. Forrest – ATL – 0
N. Queta – BOS – 10
L. Black – CHA – 9
N. Mensah – CHA – 5
B. Williams – DAL – 7
J. Gilyard – MEM – 2

Fun to see the energy of this team, even talking about a 2-way player!
Curious how he’s calculating it. The new CBA has different rules for teams with a 14 man roster vs teams with a 15 man roster. Per [this article describing it in the Heat’s situation](https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2024/02/02/heat-on-an-expiring-clock-with-two-way-players-a-countdown-that-stands-at-27-we-explain/):
> As part of the NBA’s new collective-bargaining agreement that allows teams to carry up to three players on two-way contracts instead of the previous two, a provision was included pertaining to teams that elect to carry 14 players under standard contract instead of the 15-player limit.
> The Heat are one of those teams.
> Because of that, instead of each player on a two-way contract being limited to 50 games on the active NBA roster out of the 82 during the regular season, that number, while a team is at 14 players under standard deals, is 90 total.
> For the Heat, that 90-game allotment is the maximum combined the team can currently activate Jamal Cain, RJ Hampton and Cole Swider (once a team goes to 15 under standard contact, the limit reverts to 50 games per player).
As we are also a 14 man roster, don’t we fall under the same rule? 90 active games total among all two-ways? And I doubt JD, Drew Peterson, or old friend Nathan Knight had more than, what, 10 active games combined? Queta should be filling the bulk of the remaining ~80 game days.
They will wait to sign him to a full contract but he is the missing bench piece basically
