On October 30, 2016, McKinney was drafted in the second round by the Northern Arizona Suns during the 2016 NBA Development League Draft,[6] but was waived by the Suns on November 11.[7] On December 1, he was acquired by the Delaware 87ers.[8]

In 2017, Mikhael signed with Chong son Kung Fu[9] of the ASEAN Basketball League as a heritage import player. He led the team to a regular-season title, which qualified the team to the Semi-Finals in the 2018 ABL Playoffs, but fell short to the Mono Vampire in a 0-2 sweep.
