Two-way contracts are basically upgraded G-league contracts.
Before this pandemic, two-way's were limited to spending 45 days with their NBA team. After that cap, they are forced to play with their respective G-League team the rest of the year. While with the NBA team, the two-way player is paid a salary commensurate to the NBA rookie minimum (890K) but it is paid on a daily schedule. Which means its the rookie salary broken into its day of service pay. With his G-League team, the player is paid a yearly salary of 75K.
That means a player whos spends the max amount of time with a team (45 days) and G-league can only earn a maximum of 293,000 (daily rate x45+75K). However, this year the NBA changed it to games available, not days. Meaning 2-ways can earn a lot more.
But in either case, 2-ways shouldn't count against the cap. At least to my knowledge.
