Bryce Cotton: Inks contract with Turkish squad
Bryce Cotton signed a contract Saturday with Anadolu Efes S.K. of the Turkish Basketball Super League, Hoops Hype reports.Cotton was hopeful to earn a guaranteed contract from an NBA team on the strength of his quality summer league performance with the Hawks, during which he averaged 12.8 points, 2.6 rebound and 1.4 assists over 19.6 minutes per game in his five appearances while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from three-point land. Any offers he might have received apparently weren't enticing enough, however, as Cotton will opt to head overseas in 2016-17. Given that he's just 24 years old and saw action in eight games with the Suns and Grizzlies a year earlier, there's still time for Cotton to resurface at the NBA level.

Grizzlies' Bryce Cotton: Signs contract through end of season
Bryce Cotton signed a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday that will run through the end of the 2015-16 season.The Grizzlies' roster has become healthier in the last two weeks, but with Mike Conley (Achilles) and Marc Gasol (foot) out for the season and Brandan Wright (knee) and Jordan Adams (knee) likely in a similar boat, the team will still be able to retain Cotton as part of a hardship exemption it received from the league. Cotton will serve as the Grizzlies' third-string point guard through the rest of the regular season, but will not be eligible for the team's postseason roster. The 6-foot-1 guard has appeared in six games this season for the Grizzlies and Suns this season, averaging one point and 0.5 assists over 5.6 minutes.

Suns' Bryce Cotton: Scores two in season debut
Cotton scored two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with three steals and two assists over 21 minutes in a 112-79 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.With Ronnie Price and Eric Bledsoe sidelined with injuries, Bryce Cotton became next-in-line to back up Brandon Knight.

Bryce Cotton: Expected to be called up by Suns
Bryce Cotton is on track to be called up from the D-League by the Phoenix Suns prior to Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.Cotton has been impressive thus far in the D-League, averaging 22 points, 4.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 35 minutes per game through four games for the Austin Spurs. His performance has caught the eye of the Suns, who are in the process of calling him up to provide depth at the guard position. Eric Bledsoe (sore knee) will likely be a game-time decision Wednesday, and if he ends up being held out, Cotton could immediately see light minutes off the bench.

Bryce Cotton: Waived on Tuesday
Bryce Cotton was waived by the Jazz on Tuesday.Even after the season-ending ACL injury to Dante Exum, Cotton never ranked higher than third or fourth on the Jazz's depth chart at point guard, making him an unnecessary luxury for the team to carry. Cotton still likely could have made a strong case for a roster spot with a good preseason, but that never materialized. Over two exhibition appearances spanning 34 minutes, Cotton shot a woeful 4-for-19 from the field.
