[Scotto]: The Nine-year NBA veteran Tony Snell is joining the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Miami Heat’s G League affiliate, league sources told @hoopshype. The 32-year-old swingman has averaged 6.1 points and shot 39.4% from 3-point range in nine NBA seasons.

With all the G League changes that have moved teams closer to their parent teams, I love and respect that the Heat have kept their team in Sioux Falls. Wish more teams would have kept their G League teams in real markets.
get that cardio, king
Get that 10 yrs of NBA service, my man ✊🏼

>The 32-year-old 3-and-D specialist seeks to find his way onto an NBA team’s active roster by Friday, signed for the rest of the season, in order to compile a 10th year of service for the players association’s retiree benefits program. That additional season would make Snell eligible for the union’s premium medical plan — beyond his current single qualification — which would also cover his whole family, including his two sons, Karter, 3, and Kenzo, 2, who were both diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
nbacirclejerk is gonna have a field day with this one
Afer everything Tony has been through with his family and himself, I wish him absolutely nothing but the best going forward.
He’s been working out for another opportunity for a while, plying his trade at the G-League level, and he is still young enough to be fresh enough physically to provide some end-of-the-bench minutes at the NBA level I think. Strong locker room presence which helps, and he’s shot above average from 3 the last two seasons in the G-League.

Tony Snell gonna average 33 minutes 0/0/0/0/0 +24 in the G-league
He averaged 4.8 points in the G-League last season, I don’t think any NBA teams gonna sign him. Why can’t he just go and play overseas, a lot of undrafted players play in China and they get paid millions a year (Max contract: US$4.25m). Is treatment for autism that expensive in the states that you can’t even cover the bills with few millions a year?
32???
He’s only 32? 🤦🏾
My man is gonna put the most efficient 0-statline the league has ever seen
To be one with the Heat, one must embrace the Cold.
