Pressey signed a contract with Turkish basketball club Besiktas, Sportando reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey spent the 2017-18 campaign with FC Barcelona, where he played in a combined 43 games between the Spanish ACB League and EuroLeague. He finished with averages of 4.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.2 rebounds across 11.4 minutes, while shooting 38 percent from the field and a brutal 25.9 percent from deep. After receiving little to no interest from NBA teams this offseason, Pressey will once again play overseas and should slot in as a backcourt rotational piece with Besiktas.

Pressey was waived by the Warriors on Thursday, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't come as a surprise that Pressey was unable to claim a spot on the Warriors' 15-man roster after agreeing to a guaranteed deal with Golden State back in August. Last season, Pressey spent some time with the 76ers and Suns, totaling 23 game appearances and averaging 3.4 points and 3.3 assists per game. He also played for the Idaho Stampede of the D-League, recording larger numbers with 13.7 points and 6.8 assists per game.

Pressey signed a training camp deal with the Warriors on Tuesday, international basketball reporter David Pick reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey split last season between the 76ers and Suns, appearing in 23 total games and averaging just 3.4 points and 3.3 assists per game. The former Missouri standout also appeared in 31 games for the Idaho Stampede of the D-League, posting averages of 13.7 points, 6.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. Pressey's contract with Golden State is non-guaranteed, and he's a longshot to make the final roster.

Pressey returned to the D-League's Idaho Stampede last week, Chris Reichert of Upside Motor reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns have been cycling in a number of players on 10-day contracts throughout the season, with Pressey earning two such deals with the Suns. However, with Brandon Knight (groin) returning from an extended absence a few games ago, there wasn't really a need for the Suns to sign Pressey for the rest of the season. He'll more than likely finish up the season in the D-League and will hope to receive a training camp invite from an NBA team over the offseason.

Pressey will sign a second 10-day contract with the Suns, Craig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brandon Knight (groin) has been ruled out for the Suns' upcoming four-game road trip, and with the team inclined to develop Archie Goodwin as a shooting guard, Pressey will continue to serve as the team's backup point guard behind Ronnie Price. Even once Knight is cleared to return to action, Pressey could still stick with the team in a third-string role for the rest of the season, as the Suns only have 14 players on their roster at the moment.

Pressey scored six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and added five assists, three blocks, two rebounds, and one steal in 28 minutes during the Suns' 118-111 loss to the Spurs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey turned the ball over four times and committed five fouls, but saw 28 minutes in his Suns' debut thanks in large part to Ronnie Price fouling out in 20 minutes. Suns' interim coach Earl Watson decided not to play Archie Goodwin at point guard on Sunday, and Goodwin split time with Devin Booker at shooting guard, allowing Pressey to earn meaningful minutes. Pressey averaged 3.9 points and 3.3 assists in 12 minutes per contest with the 76ers this season in 14 appearances, and even if Brandon Knight (groin) doesn't end up returning, Pressey is highly unlikely to be worth rostering in fantasy.

Pressey was signed to a 10-day contract by the Suns on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey was waived by the 76ers back in December after playing 14 games with the team. Most recently, he's spent time in the D-League with the Idaho Stampede, posting averages of 13 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals over 34 minutes. He'll now join the Suns on a 10-day contract and should provide depth in the backcourt with Brandon Knight (groin) sidelined and Eric Bledsoe (knee) out for the season.

Pressey was waived by the Sixers on Friday, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey has played in just 14 games so far this season, averaging 3.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 12 minutes per game. With Tony Wroten about to return from the knee injury that forced him to miss the start of the season, Pressey became expendable and will now head to the open market. Look for him to spend time in the NBA D-League if a team doesn't claim him off waivers.

Pressey (illness) returned to action after missing one game and posted nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds, and one steal in 19 minutes Wednesday against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey had a pretty solid line Wednesday, but isn't likely going to keep that production up, as he's locked on the bench. He's playing just 12 minutes a game this season, and it will take multiple injuries for him to see enough playing time to produce well.

Pressey (illness) ended up sitting out Monday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Pressey was suffering from food poisoning for most of Monday, so the Sixers decided to hold him out for precautionary purposes. Isaiah Canaan served as the top backup at point guard behind T.J. McConnell for the shorthanded squad, but Pressey should be able to reclaim those duties if he's feeling healthy in time for Wednesday's tilt with the Pacers.
