Barbosa has signed a contract with Sesi Franca Basketball of Brazil.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was waived by the Suns in early July after playing 67 games with the team in 2016-17, posting 6.3 points across 14.4 minutes per game. He'll now join a team in Brazil, where he was born, to play professionally.

Barbosa was waived by the Suns on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa took on a minor role with the Suns during the 2016-17 campaign, playing in 67 games, while averaging 6.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 14.4 minutes. The 34-year-old veteran hasn't mentioned anything about retirement, so it appears he'll look to latch on elsewhere prior to training camp. He should be able to mentor some of the younger guards around the league, which should mean plenty of interest from potential suitors. However, Barbosa likely won't see a ton of minutes no matter where he signs, so there will be better fantasy options elsewhere.

Barbosa (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Suns, Craig Grialou of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa will miss an eighth straight game with a right hamstring strain and it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't see the court again this season. The Suns have already been ruled out of the playoffs and appear content at getting some of their younger players more time, so there's no real reason to bring the veteran back. That said, look for Barbosa to have his status updated again prior to Tuesday's regular-season finale.

Barbosa (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns will hold Barbosa out of a seventh straight game due to the right hamstring spasm, and with coach Earl Watson comfortable giving his younger guards all the run they can handle as the season winds down, it's possible we've seen the last of the 34-year-old in 2016-17. He'll still be evaluated on a day-to-day basis ahead of the Suns' final two contests.

Barbosa (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Craig Grialou of Arizona Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa may miss his third consecutive game with a lingering right hamstring injury Thursday. With Devin Booker (ankle) also a game-time decision, the Suns' backcourt will be stretched thin, possibly prompting coach Earl Watson to send Derrick Jones into the starting five if both Barbosa and Booker are absent once more.

Barbosa (hamstring) will sit out Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks, Mike Conti of Sports Radio 92.9 The Game reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa continues to deal with a lingering hamstring injury, which will force him to sit out a second straight game. That leaves the Suns extremely short-handed in the backcourt, with the likes of Eric Bledsoe (knee) and Brandon Knight (back) being shut down for the season, Devin Booker (ankle) sitting out with an ankle injury and Ronnie Price still questionable with a lower leg injury. That should mean a heavy workload for guys like Tyler Ulis and T.J. Warren as starters, while Jared Dudley could have to play out of position in the backcourt at times.

Barbosa (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Hawks, K.L. Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa sat out Sunday's matchup against the Hornets with a left hamstring injury and his availability for Tuesday's game is in question as he's now dealing with right hamstring spasms. In his absence, Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker will probably continue to pick up heavy minutes at the guard slots along with Ronnie Price (leg) -- who's listed as questionable -- if he ends up playing.
