Report: Nuggets sign Bol to 2-way contract

The Denver Nuggets have signed second-round draft pick Bol Bol to a two-way contract, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Two-way deals limit the time a player can spend with an NBA club to 45 days per season. Unless a new contract is signed, the rest of Bol's time will be spent in the G League. The Nuggets remain one of two NBA franchises that do not have an exclusive G League affiliate.

Bol plummeted to No. 44 in June's draft after previously being viewed as a consensus lottery pick. He was limited to just nine games in his lone collegiate season at Oregon due to a foot injury.

The son of late NBA player Manute Bol stands 7-foot-2 with a 7-foot-7 wingspan. Despite his size and perimeter-shooting ability, concerns were raised at this spring's combine when Bol weighed in at just 208 lbs - about 30 lbs less than his listed playing weight at Oregon.
