Miami Heat Announce Two-Year Extension with Sioux Falls Skyforce

The Sioux Falls Skyforce will remain the Miami Heat's exclusive NBA D-League affiliate after the team announced a two-year extension to their agreement this morning.

"We have been working with the Skyforce for six years and feel that it is one of the most professional organizations in the NBA Development League," Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. "We have had a very successful working partnership with them the last two years and have had successful development with current players Tyler Johnson and Hassan Whiteside, and past players Shabazz Napier, Henry Walker, Justin Hamilton and Zoran Dragic."

They've been a Heat affiliate since June 2013.

The Skyforce started in the CBA in 1989, becoming a part of the NBA's Development League in 2006.
