Bennett agreed to a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the deal is non-guaranteed, it's still a noteworthy move given Bennett's pedigree as the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. After failed stints with Cleveland, Minnesota, Toronto and Brooklyn, Bennett is likely running out of opportunities to stick in the NBA, and he'll now have to earn his way onto a roster. Still just 24 years old, Bennett holds career averages of 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He most recently played in Turkey, signing with a team in Istanbul this past January after being waived by the Nets.

Bennett will likely sign with Fenerbahce of the Turkish League, Sportando.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former No. 1 overall pick will head to Istanbul after being waived by the Nets on Monday. The journeyman has traveled all across the NBA but may have finally exhausted his opportunities after posting a dismal 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the floor over his 23 appearances with the Nets. He'll now look to revitalize his career in the Turkish League at just 23 years old.

Bennett was waived by the Nets on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Bennett's status as a former No. 1 overall pick makes this a little more newsworthy, the decision to waive him doesn't come as much of a surprise. Bennett had fallen out of the rotation over the last few weeks and was averaging only 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the floor. The 23-year-old, who's spent time in Cleveland, Minnesota, Toronto and Brooklyn since being drafted in 2013, may have exhausted his NBA opportunities for the time being, and the D-League or a foreign league may be in his future.

Bennett (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 105-95 loss to the 76ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett typically gets off the bench in blowouts, and even though they dropped their sixth straight game Sunday, the Nets remained competitive, which has been the case in most of those contests. As a result, Bennett has only made one appearance during that stretch, a three-minute stint against the Pacers on Jan. 5. Bennett, who is averaging 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game on the season, seems unlikely to gain entry into coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation while the frontcourt remains healthy.

Bennett is expected to move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Trevor Booker cleared to play after missing Saturday's loss to the Bucks while dealing with illness, he's expected to immediately reclaim his starting role at power forward. Bennett performed admirably in Booker's stead with seven points and a career-high 14 rebounds over 23 minutes, but he'll likely notice a steep drop off in his playing time now that the top option at the position is available. Bennett was averaging just 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game over his 11 appearances on the season prior to Saturday.

Bennett scored seven points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding a career-high 14 rebounds and an assist in 23 minutes during Saturday's 112-103 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
He took full advantage of Trevor Booker's illness, falling just a three-pointer short of his first double-double since 2014-15. Bennett's only seen more than 20 minutes in a game three times so far this season, but with the Nets sitting at the bottom of the NBA in rebounding differential, Saturday's performance might be enough to earn him a more regular role in the frontcourt rotation.

Bennett will start at power forward Saturday against the Bucks, according to Bucks announcer Ted Davis.
EDGE Analysis
Justin Hamilton was the presumptive favorite to enter the starting lineup Saturday in place of Trevor Booker, who will sit out with an illness, but the Nets will give Bennett the nod instead. Bennett played just three minutes in Thursday's matchup with the Bucks and tallied just 21 total minutes over the last six games, but he could see extra minutes Saturday with Booker's absence leaving few other options down low.

Bennett was recalled from the D-League on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was assigned to the D-League on Monday but will join the team and be available to play in Tuesday night's game against the Clippers. He will continue to move back and forth between the D-League and NBA while being a fringe rotation player with the Nets.

Bennett was assigned to the D-League on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was recalled from the Long Island Nets on Sunday but did not see the floor in Brooklyn's 122-105 loss to Sacramento. He'll now return to the D-League, as he's been nothing more than a fringe rotation player for Brooklyn through the first month of the season.

Bennett was recalled to Brooklyn from the D-League's Long Island Nets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was assigned to the D-League last week after seeing single-digit minutes in multiple contests. He's eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Kings but isn't likely to have a large role.
