What happened: Jamir Watkins has been signed to a two-way contract, the team announced. Two-way deals split a player's time between the NBA roster and the G League affiliate, with capped days of NBA availability across the season.

Why it matters: The move rounds out the developmental end of the roster heading into the 2026-27 season, giving the front office a low-cost look at a young player without committing a standard roster spot. Two-way slots are a key pipeline for teams evaluating fringe talent for future standard contracts.

What to watch: Watch for how Watkins is deployed between the NBA club and its G League affiliate once training camp opens, and whether the two-way arrangement points toward a longer-term roster role.
