It looks like Sioux Falls is pushing to get Amir
some D-League time.
Because the Skyforce are scheduled to play six games in nine days beginning Jan. 12, McHone has contacted the Detroit Pistsons - one of the team's NBA affiliates - about the possibility of receiving an assignment player during that span.
"I told Detroit if they're ever going to send Amir Johnson down, this would be the perfect time to do it," McHone said while preparing for Friday's game in Tulsa, Okla.
The 19-year-old Johnson, a second-year forward, has appeared in only three games with Detroit this season.
