Could not be prouder for the guy. Great success story. And a good selling point to recruits.

and now, from the department of NOT good news. though i suppose getting him out of that dog organization may be good news eventually
G league players get treated almost as poorly as minor league baseball players. It's lame the NBA hasn't come up with something to compensate them better when the NBA owners are billionaires and NBA players have contracts worth hundreds of millions.You can get waived while you’re injured from playing for a G League team? Wow, that’s crappy. Does he still get paid?
I think that has to be negotiated up front. Maybe it is always just a given that half the salary is guaranteed but if you research the topic it says that a two way contract is half of the minimum nba salary and that half of that is guaranteed.The minimum nba salary this year is $1.15M. So he was making $575K (probably adjusted for the games he played in the nba) and best case scenario half of that was guaranteed, but that is just my take after doing some quick research. Usually the length of the contract is limited to two years so he was getting to the end of his contract anyway. I am guessing if surgery is required that is covered if the player is released due to an injury….either way if he is going to be out four weeks there is rehab involved so who pays that.Pretty sure two way contracts are guaranteed, so Sanogo is not out of pocket
