Of course, every player wants to prolong their career and maximize their earnings, but there is a much different reason as to why Snell is pushing so hard for a return. This is not about money nor fame, but about the care and needs of his two young sons that have been diagnosed with autism.</p><p>The 32-year-old has played a total of nine seasons in the NBA with six different organizations. In order to gain retirement benefits and the proper care needed for his family, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-the-heartfelt-reason-why-tony-snell-is-looking-for-one-more-opportunity-in-the-league">Snell must play a total of 10 seasons in the NBA</a>, which is why he has not stopped in his comeback efforts.</p><p>While he has not played in the league since the 2021-22 season when he split time with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans, Snell did recently play for the Maine Celtics in the NBA G League during the 2023-24 season. There, he helped take the Celtics G League affiliates to the championship game, where they fell to the Oklahoma City Blue.</p><p>After securing a workout with the Golden State Warriors over the summer and being on other teams’ radars, Snell has earned yet another G League opportunity to try and make it back to the NBA during the 2024-25 season. On Wednesday, Snell <a href="https://x.com/MikeAScotto/status/1841518821695488190" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to a deal with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. The Skyforce are the G League affiliates of the Miami Heat.</p><p>Over the course of his time in the NBA, Snell has always been a solid veteran player. In his nine seasons, Snell has averaged 6.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 39.4 percent from three-point range.</p><p>Although he is older and has not been in the league for a couple of years, Snell did prove to be a key leader for his G League team last season. Since the Heat only have 14 players under contract for the 2024-25 season, there is always a chance that they could sign Snell to a deal in order to give him his 10th year of eligibility towards retirement benefits.</p><p>At the same time, Miami’s training camp roster is set, and Snell is not listed as a participant. He will need to prove himself in the G League yet again in order to keep his NBA dreams alive.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Snell needs to make a <a href="https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tony-snells-mission-to-return-to-nba-is-bigger-than-just-basketball-142355012.html" rel="noopener">team’s active roster</a> by Friday and sign for the rest of the season in order to be eligible for the NBA’s premium medical plan, per Jake Fischer at Yahoo Sports. He needs to play 10 years in the league for the Players Association’s retiree benefits program, which would cover himself as well as his wife and two kids. Both of his sons were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.</p><p>Snell’s level of urgency is higher than ever. He currently plays for the Maine Celtics, the G-League affiliate of the Boston Celtics. He has yet to crack the active roster for the Celtics, given that they have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-payton-pritchard-breaks-franchise-record-win-pacers" rel="noopener">younger players</a> on the bench and they’re not looking to make any changes. The Celtics are the No. 1 team in the NBA, in terms of a record standpoint with a 37-11 split on the season.</p><p>While Snell mentions his love for his role with the G-League affiliate, as a mentor for younger players, he has a mission to get back to the NBA court and secure the medical plan. Snell is also diagnosed with autism, so it’s important for him to find a way into the NBA’s retiree benefit program.</p><p>The NBA trade deadline is on February 8th and the G-League trade deadline lies on February 24th. Snell needs to find a way to get back on the professional hardwood, and if it’s not with the Celtics, a trade to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-joe-mazzulla-gets-back-kendrick-perkins-savage-bird-brain-troll-job" rel="noopener">another organization</a> may suit his demands.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>When fans hear the name of Tony Snell, only one thing comes to mind: the night wherein the 6’6 wing back in February 2017 where he put up a bunch of zeroes across the box score in 28 minutes of play. That is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pelicans-news-tony-snell-vintage-stat-line-in-play-in-win-reminds-us-why-hes-the-goat" rel="noopener">Snell’s lasting legacy</a> as a player. And on Monday night, Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu paid homage to the greatest cardio player of all time by putting up <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-players-with-0-points-0-rebounds-0-assists-0-steals-0-blocks-in-a-game-in-26-minutes" rel="noopener">a whole bunch of nothing</a> on the stat-sheet in a 134-129 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.</p><p>According to Reddit user Gins_and_Tonics, Dosunmu is the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/18gez33/ayo_dosunmu_is_the_first_player_since_tony_snell/?utm_source=ifttt" rel="noopener">first NBA player since 2017</a> to put up 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks in more than 26 minutes of action, ensuring that Snell’s legacy as the cardio king lives on.</p><p>It’s a bit funny that two of the teams that Tony Snell is most known for plying his trade for, the Bulls and the Bucks, were the ones involved in a game in which a player put up a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-luka-doncics-teammate-gives-tony-snell-run-for-his-money-with-latest-empty-statline" rel="noopener">signature Snell Cardio Session</a>. Snell might be a meme, and he may no longer be playing in the NBA, but even if he has a penchant for doing nothing on the court that shows up on the box score, he was still able to last nine years in the league.</p><p>What’s most confounding about Ayo Dosunmu’s game on Monday night was that, despite failing to register a single statistic against the Bucks, the Bulls were +2 in his minutes, while during Tony Snell’s infamous cardio game, he finished with a -9, as it’s very hard to win the minutes where it’s virtually four on five on the court.</p><p>At the very least, Dosunmu was able to contribute in making Damian Lillard’s life hell for the entirety of their battle on Monday. The Bucks star point guard finished the game with just 14 points on 3-17 shooting from the field, and Dosunmu did his part on the defensive end of the court while allowing DeMar DeRozan and Coby White to do the heavy lifting on offense.</p><p>Who is the next candidate to put up a trademark Tony Snell game? Ayo Dosunmu may be the favorite, although a player in the mold of Terance Mann (a low-usage, heavy-minutes player surrounded by ball-dominant teammates) could be next in line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
