Briante Weber: Headed overseas
Weber signed a contract with Olympiacos on Monday, Nikos Varlas of EuroHoops.net reports.
Weber is set to join the Greek Basket League after spending the past four seasons playing professionally in the United States. The 26-year-old made 33 appearances in the G League this season before opting to head overseas, posting averages of 15.1 points, 6.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 steals across 31.4 minutes.

Briante Weber: Leads team in scoring
Weber tallied 28 points (12-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in the 133-122 win Wednesday over the Wolves.
Despite coming off the bench, Weber led the way for Sioux Falls, combining with Rodney Purvis and Raphiael Putney to score over half of the team's points despite failing to start. The guard has been a frequent contributor for the Skyforce this season, averaging 30.5 minutes, 13.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds in 26 contests this season.

Briante Weber: Released by Heat
Weber was released by the Heat on Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Weber saw a relatively healthy workload throughout the preseason, but failed to make enough of an impression to land on the Heats' final roster. In the end, it appears Miami was content with its backcourt depth. The journeyman has played on five different teams across three seasons, and will now look to find a new opportunity.

Heat's Briante Weber: Four steals in preseason win
Weber finished with 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four steals, three rebounds, and three assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 140-128 preseason victory over the Pelicans.
Weber was able to make an impact off the bench Wednesday against a depleted Pelicans outfit. It was a good night for the journeyman as he looks to secure himself a permanent roster spot after a number of seasons floating around the league. An effort like this will certainly do him no harm in his search for permanency but even still, he has no fantasy value at this point.

Heat's Briante Weber: Inks contract with Miami
Weber signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Heat on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
Weber has bounced around the league over the last three years, spending time on five different rosters. In his most recent 2017-18 campaign, Weber played in a combined 18 games between the Grizzlies and Rockets and averaged 2.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal across 13.2 minutes. The fact that his new contract is only partially guaranteed means it's essentially a training camp deal, so Weber will have to have a strong showing during camp and the preseason to have a shot at a final roster spot with the Heat. As of now, the guard is likely on the outside looking in.

Grizzlies' Briante Weber: Fills up box score in Monday's loss
Weber went off for 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals, and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 118-115 loss to the Nets.
Weber led the team in minutes and steals while contributing a career high scoring total. He has seen 20-plus minutes in each of the last three games, and Weber is getting the nod over veteran backup point guard Mario Chalmers, who was a healthy scratch.

Grizzlies' Briante Weber: Signing with Grizzlies
Weber will sign a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.
Weber spent 13 games with the Rockets earlier this season, averaging 2.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 9.1 minutes per game. The signing makes sense considering the plethora of injuries the Grizzlies are currently dealing with in their backcourt. As a result, Weber could find himself in a prominent role off the bench as soon as he lands in Memphis.

Briante Weber: Tremendous game
Weber recorded 27 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals during Saturday's win over Reno.
The VCU product had a tremendous game, leading all scorers and producing his second double-double this season. Weber has been a consistent scorer all season long and has seen most of his scoring in each outing end up past the 20-point mark. The 6-2 guard is averaging a terrific 17.7 points, 7.4 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Briante Weber: Waived by Rockets
Weber will be waived by the Rockets on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Weber has seen action in 13 games with the Rockets while playing on a two-way deal, averaging 2.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 9.1 minutes. However, with the max amount of days he could potentially stay activated with the big club slowly creeping closer, Weber will be waived and then replaced by Markel Brown. If Weber can't find any interest elsewhere in the NBA right away, look for him to remain in the G-League with the hope of earning a call up later this season.

Rockets' Briante Weber: Acts as backup point guard Wednesday
Weber finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 16 minutes in Wednesday's 116-98 win over the Magic.
With James Harden (hamstring) expected to miss anywhere from 2-to-6 weeks due to the injury he suffered on New Year's Eve, Weber looks like he'll be one of several players to benefit from increased minutes. The 25-year-old acted as the primary backup to starting point guard Chris Paul on Wednesday, with third-string option Bobby Brown logging a lone minute in garbage time. A 39.8 percent career shooter, Weber doesn't offer much upside on the offensive end, but his on-ball defense could be enough to keep him ahead of Brown in the rotation.

Rockets' Briante Weber: Called up from G-League
Weber was called up from the G-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Weber's presence may be needed Wednesday against the Nuggets, as Eric Gordon (calf) and Ryan Anderson (illness) are unavailable. That said, he has yet to play in an NBA game this season.

Rockets' Briante Weber: Inks two-way deal with Houston
The Rockets agreed to terms with Weber on a two-way contract Monday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Regarded as a top-flight defensive point guard, Weber has attracted interest from a number of NBA teams since turning pro in 2015. Weber's poor shooting will likely prevent him from ever emerging as an NBA-caliber starting option, but he'll at least give the Rockets another depth option at point guard with Chris Paul (knee) potentially out for up to a month. Weber is expected to be assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, to begin his tenure with the organization.

Lakers' Briante Weber: Inks partially-guaranteed deal with Lakers
Weber agreed to terms on a partially-guaranteed contract with the Lakers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
Weber spent the majority of the 2016-17 campaign backing up starting Hornets point guard Kemba Walker after reserve guard Ramon Sessions went down with a knee injury. In 13 appearances with Charlotte, Weber posted 3.8 points, 1.7 boards and 1.2 assists across 12.2 minutes per game. The exact details of the contract haven't been released, though it seems safe to assume that the deal is largely a training camp invite and could end up with Weber joining the Lakers' G-League affiliate if he can't make the NBA squad.

Briante Weber: Waived by Hornets
Weber was waived by the Hornets on Friday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Weber started the 2016-17 campaign as a member of the Warriors, bouncing between the NBA and the D-League before ultimately being let go. After being picked up by the Hornets in late February, Weber saw most of his minutes after reserve point guard Ramon Sessions tore his meniscus. As a result, Weber stepped into a backup role behind starter Kemba Walker. In his 13 appearances with the team, the 6-foot-2 guard posted 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 12.2 minutes per game.

Hornets' Briante Weber: Staying in Charlotte
Weber has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Hornets, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
Weber, who's nearing the end of his second 10-day contract with Charlotte, has provided the Hornets with energy and a defensive boost off the bench, so much so that he's earned an extended look in order for the team to find out what they may have in the 24-year-old. The VCU product operated as Kemba Walker's primary backup the last two games and should hang on to that role until veteran Ramon Sessions (knee) returns.

Hornets' Briante Weber: Signs second 10-day deal with Hornets
Weber will sign a second 10-day contract with the Hornets on Thursday.
Weber has seen action in just one game for the Hornets since joining the team on his first 10-day contract at the end of February, posing two points over two minutes during that contest. Despite being relegated to the bench for the majority of his stay, coach Steven Clifford likes what he's gotten from Weber and will give him one more 10-day deal before deciding whether or not to sign him for the rest of the season. The Hornets continue to be without Ramon Sessions (knee) at point guard, so Weber should slot in as the team's third string point guard behind Kemba Walker and Brian Roberts for the time being.

Hornets' Briante Weber: Inks 10-day contract with Charlotte
Weber signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets on Sunday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Weber recently finished off two 10-day contracts with the Warriors, with whom he made seven appearances, but the team wasn't willing to commit to him for the rest of the season. The Hornets will have more of a need for Weber, as Ramon Sessions (knee) is still out for the foreseeable future. Look for Weber to fight with Brian Roberts for the main backup role behind starter Kemba Walker.

Warriors' Briante Weber: Will be released by Warriors
The Warriors are planning on releasing Weber, head coach Steve Kerr confirmed Saturday, Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Weber's roster spot is expected to be taken by veteran Jose Calderon once he and the Lakers negotiate a buyout. The deal will be contingent on Calderon passing a physical with the Warriors. Weber might latch on with another organization but his fantasy appeal is negligible.
