Heat Purchases Controlling Interest In Sioux Falls Skyforce

Post by Uffda »

The Miami HEAT announced today that they have purchased a controlling interest in their NBA Development League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.


The HEAT and Skyforce entered into a single-affiliation hybrid partnership during the 2013-14 season as Sioux Falls has accumulated a 129-71 (.645) regular season record over that span, the best for any D-League team. After a record-breaking 40-win season in 2015-16, the Skyforce captured the 2016 NBA Development League championship while earning three division titles and three postseason berths over the four-year hybrid partnership.

Entering the upcoming 2017-18 season, the NBA Development League will be renamed the NBA Gatorade League.
