This is TJ Leaf. He signed a 2 way contract last year after 3 years of playing in the NBA.
I guess you're right, I'm not sure about Leaf signing for 2 years, though. It's a little confusing. This is how it reads in the CBA,
Article II:
"No Team may sign or convert a player to a Two-Way
Contract if the player has or may have four (4) or more
Years of Service at any point during the Contract.
For example, a player with three (3) Years of Service would not
be eligible to sign a Two-Way Contract with a term of two
(2) years."
EDIT: I think my mistake was not realizing that a Year of Service isn't counted until the year is complete. So a player with 3 years doesn't have 4 years of service until the 4th year is completed. So Khyri Thomas would be eligible,but I don't see how Leaf could sign for two years. Are you sure about that?
My mistake--you didn't say he signed for two years. I'm full of mistakes today.
Its really not laid out clearly anywhere. Hopefully they do away with the service limitations altogether, of the 4 major sports I believe the NBA is the only one that has an age limit still. NFL did away with theirs for COVID and I dont think its ever coming back
