The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports the Boston Celtics and other teams invited to finish their 2019-20 season in Florida will likely be allowed to to bring 17 players — including two-way players — to the Orlando-area ‘bubble’ location the NBA has chosen to resume play at.
While it is unclear if the two way players will be allowed to play in the playoffs without a regular, rostered player being injured, it does suggest that at minimum both center Tacko Fall and point guard Tremont Waters will be allowed to travel with the team for the completion of the current season.
Sources: The NBA is planning to allow teams to bring up to 17 players per roster (including two-ways) into the resumed season. Previous estimate was 15-player limit.

Two way players may be able to participate in the postseason afterward without a player being injured, but for now such details are unsettled, with the NBA and National Basketball Players’ Association still ironing out the details on who can participate when.
Earlier in the week, the Celtics Wire reported on that negotiation process, which will likely at minimum allow two way players of a team to be part of the pool of players available to teams to replace injured players on the roster.
