NBA 10-Day Contracts, what they are and how they work
Not all contracts are guaranteed for a long period. Let’s explore all the details about the 10-Day Contract, another recurring term in the NBA Market.
In our Complete Guide to the NBA Market, we have addressed the topic of the 10-Day Contract, which we will explore in detail in this article.
What is the 10-Day Contract?
The 10-Day Contract, as the name suggests, is a contract that lasts a maximum of ten days or three consecutive games. Typically, these contracts are signed at the minimum salary, but this is negotiable between the front office and the player.
Along with the Two Way Contract, it is one of the most commonly used contract options by NBA teams to avoid long-term commitments.
How does the 10-Day Contract work?
As mentioned earlier, the 10-Day Contract is a contract guaranteed for ten days or possibly for three consecutive games, depending on the contract options.
During this time, the team evaluates the player’s impact and can decide whether to keep him for a longer period, assign him to the affiliated team’s roster in the G-League, or terminate the relationship early. However, if the contract is ended early, the salary is still guaranteed for all ten days.
