A two-way contract allows a player to compete for an NBA team’s G League affiliate while being eligible to appear in up to 50 NBA regular-season games. An Exhibit 10 deal is a one-year, non-guaranteed contract at the league minimum salary, giving teams the flexibility to waive the player without financial penalty before the season starts. A Summer League contract is a temporary, non-salaried agreement that typically only covers expenses like travel, lodging and per diem.
The NBA Summer League will take place in Las Vegas and will feature all 30 NBA teams and take place July 10-20, 2025 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Ballo will also be teamed up with former Hoosier Kel'el Ware in the NBA Summer League in 2025.
