In today’s weird news. Tony Snell has come out publicly as being autistic (if he already did I was unaware) in an attempt to get signed to one more NBA contract. If he gets signed one more time he’ll hit the NBA’s 10 year mark to get healthcare for his family for the rest of his life. His kids are also autistic, so Tony is asking for a 10 day contract and going public with his health issues (and his family’s) in order to try and get a contract. This is a story to watch as time is running out.

I've read this news and the deadline is on Friday. If no team signs him up until Friday then he won't be qualified for the league's benefit that will definitely gonna help him and his family.

Any team that sees his situation could give him a hand and even he'll heat up the seat on the bench, that's no problem as long as he'll get that benefits that will help him and his family for the rest of their lives.

Mark Cuban might help but is there any spot on the roster?

It does seem like Mark Cuban would be the guy to help Tony out, but he's having all sorts of DEI issues at the moment so he'd probably face backlash for this actually...

I do hope that someone will go out of their way to sign Tony Snell to a 10 day contract today at least before time runs out (a matter of hours now), but I could understand why other owners or the league could be upset if this becomes a thing. Tony Snell isn't a charity case though. He's had a good career and I think he's as capable as any NBA reserve to sit on the bench for a couple weeks.

Even Chales Barkley have called the NBA teams to help Tony to become eligible with that medical help that will be part of just for this little contract that they can give to him.

Isn't it this day is the deadline for his eligibility? and if no team signs him, then that eligibility will be gone. I can't find news or any updates regarding if a team has signed him already.

Unfortunately it seems Snell fail to sign in any team in NBA team base on this article Tony Snell didnt get a team on NBA maybe NBA teams doesn't want to waste their slots and money for charity. They are in total focus to get more helpful players that can give them good result on their campaign this year.

Its really unfortunate to see that happening but I guess that tells that NBA is for pure business and they don't care about anyone need something like that badly. So I guess for Tony he need to work on other way so he can provide his family what they need especially on their medical needs.
