The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free-agent forward Tony Mitchell to a 10-day contract, General Manager John Hammond announced today.
Mitchell (6-6, 216) has spent the better part of the last two seasons with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Milwaukee’s affiliate in the D-League.
After going undrafted out of the University of Alabama in 2012, Mitchell signed with Fort Wayne and appeared in 48 games during the 2012-13 D-League season, averaging 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Mitchell was named the D-League Rookie of the Year and earned All-NBA D-League First Team honors following the season.
Mitchell is a two-time NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest champion after successfully defending his 2013 crown at NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans last month.
