During the 2014-15 season, he played in 50 games, finishing with averages of 3.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.6 steals over 12 minutes per game.

Sun Jul 12 201509:49Pressey no longer participating on Celtics' summer league roster
Pressey is no longer participating on the Celtics' summer league roster, A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com reports.
Pressey was practicing with the squad during the Salt Lake City Summer League and able to play in the event of an emergency head into Las Vegas. His contract becomes fully guaranteed if he's still on the roster by July 15th, but he could wind up part of the pending David Lee and Gerald Wallace deal. After the Celtics drafted three guards in the past two drafts, it appears Pressey's days are numbered.
Fri Jul 3 201515:47Pressey will be on Celtics' summer league roster
Pressey will be on the Celtics' summer league roster, Jay King of MassLive.com reports.

Pressey saw limited playing time during his second NBA season. He played in only 50 games averaging 15 minutes, 3.5 points and 2.3 assists per game. Pressey shot a challenging 37 percent from the field.
Pressey enters the offseason as a restricted free agent. Should he stay with Boston, he'll provide only bench strength, entrenched behind Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart and Isaiah Thomas on the Celtics' depth chart.

Pressey knocked down one field goal during his lone minute on the court against the Sixers on Friday.

Fri Feb 6 201513:37Pressey recalled by Celtics on Friday
Pressey was recalled by the Celtics on Friday.
Despite the promotion, Pressey is still a limited player in the NBA who is only averaging 11.6 minutes on the court over 31 appearances this season. Unless a wave of injuries hits Boston, the second-year point guard is not expected to see significant time on the court during his sophomore campaign.
Thu Feb 5 201515:55Pressey of D-League on Thursday
Pressey was of the D-League on Thursday.
Pressey is averaging 3.2 points and 2.1 assists in 31 games for Boston this season but has seen his playing time wane of late. He'll head to Maine for a short stint in order to see starter's minutes for a game or two.

Pressey played 16 minutes off the bench Sunday, putting up nine points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, and four assists.
Pressey was getting some extra run with Marcus Smart (personal) away from the team. Smart is expected to return for Monday's game. Pressey has averaged 3.3 poins and 2.2 assists in 12 minutes per game through 27 contests this season. He's highly unlikely to earn a big enough role to be of use in anything but the absolute deepest of leagues.
Sat Nov 8 201409:02Pressey limited to average of eight minutes on court over two ga...
Pressey has been limited to an average of eight minutes on the court over two games this season.
Pressey is buried on the depth chart and won't likely see much time on the court unless guys like Rajon Rondo, rookie Marcus Smart, or Evan Turner suffer injuries. In lieu of this, Pressey is better left untouched in everything but the deepest of leagues.
Wed Jul 16 201423:36Celtics guarantee Phil Pressey's contract
The Celtics have guaranteed the contract of Phil Pressey by not waving him on Tuesday.
He'll have to fight for minutes behind Rajon Rondo and rookie Marcus Smart, but he looks like a lock for a roster spot this season.

Tue Jul 1 201416:12Phil Pressey faces pressure from Marcus Smart
Celtics PG Phil Pressey said that he welcomes increased competition from draft pick Marcus Smart.
Pressey went undrafted last year but Boston signed him to a multi-year deal as a free agent, and he stepped into a big role with Rajon Rondo recovering from ACL surgery. He even started 11 games, averaging 8.2 points, 1.3 threes, 7.2 assists and 1.5 steals, but his fantasy outlook is bleak with Rondo and Smart clogging up minutes at PG.

Sat Apr 12 201422:39Flip Pressey with 9 points, 13 dimes in start
Phil Pressey started in place of Rajon Rondo (rest) and hit 4-of-8 shots and a 3-pointer for nine points, five rebounds, 13 assists and a steal.
Any time Rondo will miss, Pressey is worth a shot in most fantasy leagues. He's not a great scorer, but did a nice job for the Celtics tonight.

Fri Apr 11 201423:48Phil Pressey hands out 13 dimes in win
Phil Pressey handed out a career-high 13 assists in a start in place of Rajon Rondo (shin) on Friday vs. the Bobcats, adding 10 points, three steals and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.
It's the third time he's had a double-digit dime game and also his second double-double of his career. Pressey has actually shot the ball at a respectable level lately and he's turned around what was a horrible start to his career. Rondo's shin injury is a bit of a mystery as far as severity goes, so Pressey is more of a speculative add. Although, Pressey could be a nice start since Jerryd Bayless (knee) seems doubtful.

Fri Apr 11 201418:58Phil Pressey will start vs. Bobcats
Phil Pressey will start in place of Rajon Rondo (shin) on Friday vs. the Bobcats.
This injury came out of nowhere for Rondo and coach Brad Stevens may have just went with Pressey over Jerryd Bayless as the starter to not mess with his game plan in the rotation. Pressey is a low-end option despite a decent matchup against Luke Ridnour.

Wed Mar 12 201423:57Phil Pressey scores nine in decent line
Phil Pressey scored nine points in 35 minutes during his seventh start of his career on Wednesday with nine boards, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer.
It wasn't the worst line and he might have been a little better than expected. Pressey shot 3-of-9 from the field and being undersized has really made him an ineffective offensive weapon. Rajon Rondo won't play playing in back-to-back sets any time soon, so fantasy owners in deep leagues can keep stats like these in mind for streaming purposes.

Wed Mar 12 201417:57Phil Pressey will start on Wednesday night
Phil Pressey will start against the Knicks on Wednesday night.
With Rajon Rondo out tonight, the Celtics will go with Pressey for his seventh career start. In his previous six starts, he averaged 6.8 points, 2.5 boards, 4.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 triples in 24.2 minutes. He did have one tremendous game mixed in there to inflate those averages, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't have their hopes too high even in a great matchup.
