The Miami Heat have announced today that they have purchased a controlling interest in their NBA Development League affiliate team, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Miami will continue to have full control over basketball operations while the Heineman family will continue to run the Skyforce’s business operations.
“We are so proud to enter into this partnership with the Miami HEAT,” said Skyforce President and Owner Mike Heineman. “They have been so good for the Skyforce and for the city of Sioux Falls. To be able to expand our partnership with Miami while keeping the team in Sioux Falls were our two biggest goals throughout this process.
