10- day contracts

As roster spots open, they may be temporarily filled by free agents signed to 10- day contracts. Teams can start signing players to 10- day deals Tuesday. Salaries are based on a player’s years of NBA experience, ranging from $ 30,888 to $ 88,187. A player can sign with a team only twice, for a 20- day span — after which the franchise can look to keep the player for the remainder of the season or let him go back into the free- agent pool.

Many players who will sign over the coming weeks and months are currently in the NBA Development League. Starting Wednesday, the D- League will hold a five- day showcase with all 19 teams playing two games apiece in Santa Cruz. Some of the top prospects include Jimmer Fredette, Earl Clark, Vander Blue, Sean Kilpatrick, Elliot Williams, Ronald Roberts, Jeff Ayres and Manny Harris.
