Spencer agreed to a two-way deal with the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Spencer spent the last three seasons with the Warriors. While the 29-year-old didn't see consistent action for Golden State over the years, he is still coming off his best season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 40.0 percent from deep over 29.6 minutes in 14 regular-season starts. Spencer could get on the floor for the Suns occasionally during the 2026-27 campaign, though he is expected to spend most of his time in the G League.

Freeman agreed to a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Freeman was also on a two-way deal with Minnesota a season ago. He spent the majority of his time playing for the G League's Iowa Wolves, averaging 16.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 made threes in 39 games.

Jones agreed to a one-year deal Thursday to remain with the Nuggets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Jones has bounced around the league since being drafted in 2015, making stops in Minnesota, Memphis, Washington, Phoenix, Orlando and Dallas before joining the Nuggets in March 2026. He appeared in 11 regular-season contests with Denver, though he averaged only 2.2 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.1 steals over 8.4 minutes. With that in mind, Jones was once one of the most reliable backup point guards in the NBA, so he could turn things around if he's given more minutes in 2026-27.

Sandfort was waived by Oklahoma City on Thursday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Sandfort agreed to a two-way deal with the Thunder in March, but he'll hit the open market after being waived Thursday. The Iowa product spent the majority of the 2025-26 campaign suiting up for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, averaging 10.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.4 made threes over 25 games.

Williams will sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Thunder, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

The Thunder recently declined his $7.1 million team option, so they save some money here in addition to generating some tax relief for the franchise. The forward averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest across 56 regular-season games for the Thunder in 2025-26.

Anderson agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Anderson will join Toronto with the hope of providing depth in the frontcourt. He's bounced around to five different teams over his last two seasons, most recently suiting up for Memphis, Minnesota and Utah a year ago. Anderson averaged 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 43 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Simons (elbow) will join the 76ers on a two-year, $12.3 million deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The 76ers continue to round out their roster after acquiring Jaylen Brown on Wednesday. The second year of this deal is a player option, which will allow Simons to bet on himself if he puts together a strong campaign. Simons could be positioned to be the first guard off the bench for the 76ers ahead of Opening Night.

Bagley (shoulder) agreed to a one-year deal with the Nuggets on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After playing for three teams over the past two seasons, Bagley will join the Nuggets for the 2026-27 campaign. The big man appeared in 60 regular-season games (12 starts) between the Wizards and Mavericks last season, averaging 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting 61.8 percent from the field across 20.0 minutes per contest. He figures to operate as Denver's top backup big man behind Nikola Jokic.

Castleton signed a two-way contract with the Magic on Wednesday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

Castleton will return to Orlando after operating as a two-way player for the club last season. The 26-year-old big man appeared in just four regular-season games for the parent club and missed significant time with a fractured right hand. He figures to see the majority of his playing time with Orlando's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic.

Nelson agreed to a two-way contract with Orlando on Wednesday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

Nelson was selected by Washington with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and subsequently traded to Orlando. He began his collegiate career at Arkansas State before spending the 2025-26 campaign at South Florida. In 34 games, which included an NCAA Tournament loss to Louisville, the 22-year-old averaged 15.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.6 steals over 27.3 minutes. The Magic's roster is loaded, and while that doesn't necessarily mean Nelson won't see the floor for the parent club, he will likely spend most of his first season in the G League.
