One week before the NBA trade deadline, while many teams are keeping roster spots open for transactional flexibility, NBA veteran Tony Snell was unable to find a home for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, sources told Yahoo Sports.
The official deadline was 11:59 p.m. ET for Snell to sign with one of the league’s 30 teams for the remainder of the season. That would have allowed Snell to accrue a 10th year of service for the players association’s retiree benefits program — beyond his current single qualification — which would cover healthcare for his whole family, including his two sons, Karter, 3, and Kenzo, 2, who are both diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
