Christian Koloko and Kobe Bufkin are set to receive E9 deals, which would exempt them from G League obligations if waived. This arrangement means they will have a standard non-guaranteed minimum contract if they are still on the roster at the end of training camp. Koloko’s lack of 2-way eligibility makes this an opportunity for him to compete for a spot on the team. Both players will aim to secure their positions ahead of the season, which is expected to begin soon.
