Can someone explain to me how Marcus Thornton's 10 day contract for Cleveland lasted from 2/22/18 to 3/5/18. That's 12 days and 6 games in that span.

ended 3/3/18 per hoopsrumors.com

Two players are free agents again after their 10-day contracts expired overnight, according to the Real GM Transactions Log.
...Marcus Thornton also wasn’t used during his 10-day stay with Cleveland. Although he signed with the Cavaliers, he never left the G League, where he is averaging 18.9 points per game with the Canton Charge."

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Cleveland then have to meet 14 contract minimum today?

Tomorrow technically IIRC. They have two weeks and the day after two weeks, they have to be in compliance.

Thank you. Makes sense. Cleveland did end up filling the last spot. What would have happened if they didn't? Is there a penalty?

As far as I know, it is simply a case of they must fill the final spot. I suppose the NBA could have refused to let them play or issued a huge fine.
