Charles Barkley has urged an NBA team to sign Tony Snell so that Snell can reach a 10th year of NBA service. This milestone would make him eligible for the player’s association premium medical plan, providing essential healthcare coverage for Snell’s wife and children.
The 32-year-old Snell, who revealed his diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder last summer, has been playing with the Maine Celtics in the G League, seeking an NBA roster spot before the Friday deadline to qualify for retiree benefits and healthcare coverage.
