Like every basketball player in the world, Tony Snell dreamed of playing in the NBA, and in 2013 he did fulfill his dream when he was selected 20th in the draft by the Chicago Bulls, in Media he played for 3 years. Later he also had time to play in the Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trailblazers and New Orleans Pelicans, but since the end of the 21/22 season he has not been included in any team's roster.

NBA players who play in the league for 10 years or more have a special and extended insurance policy that they and their families are entitled to after retirement, if he does not sign with any team by tomorrow (Friday), he will lose the right to receive the policy.
Snell's problem is bigger than basketball, a few months ago both of Snell's sons were diagnosed with the autism spectrum, which caused the player to go get tested himself, and discover that he too is on the spectrum.
"I want to go back and play basketball," Snell said in an interview in the United States and addressed the heads of the teams in the league: "It's not for me, my goal is bigger than that, I need it for my two autistic children and for my family."
