Barbosa will be signed by Phoenix for the remainder of this season, azcentral.com reports.

Analysis:

Barbosa' second 10-day contract with his former club expired following Monday's game against the Sixers, but after impressing during that extended spell, the Brazilian will remain with the Suns for the rest of this season. In nine appearances, Barbosa has averaged 8.7 points in just over 21 minutes of play. While he probably won't be rostered in most fantasy leagues, the 31-year-old offers valuable experience to a young Phoenix squad.
