In 2014, he joined the Memphis Grizzlies with the 35th pick in the second round of the rookie draft, and played a total of 28 games for the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets.

In the 2017-18 season, he played an average of 33 minutes in 28 games for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls, scoring 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, and field goals had a 57% success rate.

"I had a test and interview with Stokes at Las Vegas where the Summer League will take place. I didn't feel any absence in technique and ball handling," coach Kim Seung-ki said. "I expect him to be a player who will be of great help not only in post-play but also in guard and teamwork once he recovers his previous skills."
Meanwhile, Sono previously recruited center Alan Williams to complete the formation of foreign players in the 2024-25 season.
