What happened: General manager Joe Cronin announced the deal Saturday. Representatives George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports brokered the agreement.
Why it matters: Two-way contracts permit movement between NBA and G League assignments, giving Portland a developmental roster slot for 2026-27. The deal brings John Tonje into a new organization after his rookie season.
By the numbers: Tonje averaged 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 29 G League games in 2025-26. He shot 44.0% from the field, 35.4% from three and 88.7% at the line.
What to watch: Training camp will clarify how Portland divides Tonje's time between its NBA and G League rosters.
