Overview

  • The non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 structure allows a conversion to a two-way contract during camp.
  • Orlando currently has 14 standard contracts and two players on two-way deals, leaving one two-way opening alongside Orlando Robinson and Jamal Cain, with cap constraints limiting room for a 15th guaranteed spot.
  • In 41 G League games last season with Birmingham and Delaware, Quinones averaged 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals.
  • Undrafted in 2022, he has appeared in 54 NBA regular-season games and last season logged 13 appearances, averaging 8.6 points during his Pelicans stint.
  • If waived before the season, he could join the Lakeland Magic and earn an Exhibit 10 bonus up to $85,300, contingent on the affiliate acquiring his returning rights.
