Rupert and the 76ers agreed to a two-way contract Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

A 2023 second-round pick, Rupert split his time between Portland and Memphis last season. Across 64 regular-season games, he averaged 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

Green and the Pistons agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Green played all 82 regular-season games for the Pistons in 2025-26, averaging 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.6 minutes while shooting 38.1 percent from beyond the arc. He'll again provide the Pistons with some quality depth on the wings.

Queta and the Celtics agreed to a four-year, $56 million extension Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Celtics recently picked up Queta's team option for 2026-27, but the team quickly moved to lock him up for another four years through 2030-31. Queta averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game across 76 regular-season outings (75 starts) last season, but he does have some extra competition for next season with the Celtics adding Mitchell Robinson up front.

Karaban left Thursday's practice after suffering an ankle injury, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Karaban appeared to roll his ankle near the end of Thursday's practice, per Nunes, and he was unable to return. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Sacramento's first Summer League game against Brooklyn on Saturday.

Onyenso agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Thursday.

The No. 53 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Onyenso appears poised to see run in the G League after putting pen to paper on a two-way deal. He'll likely face an uphill battle to carve out a role in the rotation, so Detroit will presumably allow him to continue his development with Motor City.

Eason agreed Thursday to a five-year, $81.5 million deal (fully guaranteed) to remain in Houston, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Eason was selected by the Rockets with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Since then, the 25-year-old has appeared in 221 regular-season games for Houston, averaging 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 steals over 23.6 minutes. Eason was on the radar of a few teams around the NBA, especially the Lakers. However, he will remain in Houston, where he will likely see most of his minutes off the bench. Eason isn't the most consistent scorer, and injuries have also been an issue. Still, he has value due to his defensive prowess and ability on the glass, which should come in handy for a Rockets team looking to win a championship.

Plowden agreed to a two-year, $5.1 million contract with the Kings on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Plowden has managed to land a standard NBA deal after previously playing on two-way contracts while with Sacramento, Atlanta and Golden State over the last few seasons. He averaged 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.9 made threes in 26.4 minutes over 32 regular-season appearances a year ago with the Kings.

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.
