There is a difficult period in the life of the American James. His grandfather recently died and CSKA did not allow an American basketball player to attend his funeral.
An insider information leak revealed that due to this circumstance, Mr. James had a conflict with CSKA club leaders, coach Dimitri Itoudis. After not playing for a while, the defender subsequently returned to the Russian capital’s team lineup, with both sides apologizing to each other in semi-official remarks.
However, in the first week of February, the defender came to another 30-year news of the disaster outside the Atlantic, and in order to avoid a repeat of the events and show humanity, the CSKA leadership allowed the player to fly to your loved ones. . This was officially announced by the Moscow club itself. No further circumstances are disclosed regarding the loss of Mr. James’s family.
With this, CSKA’s ranks have become even thinner. Some of the favorites of the Euroleague season do not currently have the entire group as the leader. Nikola Milutinov, traumatized, will not be able to play until the end of the season, and Tornike Šengelija and Will Clyburn are also injured and still unable to play.
It’s comforting unless the next Euroleague game is only played on February 19, so by then some CSKA basketball players will be able to lick their wounds.
However, there are two matches in the VTB United League until then, where on February 10 and 13 CSKA will play Krasnoyarsk Yenisei (away) and Saint Petersburg Zenit (home) respectively.
CSKA is currently in the pits both in this tournament and in the Euroleague. The Russian champions lost the last two matches in both tournaments (Bayern in Munich in Euroleague 66:69 and Valencia in 103: 10, Zielionai Gorai in VTB League – 90:93 in Kalev / Cramo in Tallinn) :.
In a sensationally lost match with the Estonian representatives, M. James was still involved, and then he left for the USA.
As already mentioned, the Muscovites will play the next Euroleague game on February 19 in their hometown with Panathinaikos from Athens.
James is the most productive player of the Euroleague season, averaging 20.7 points per game.
CSKA is currently in second place in the Euroleague. On the table of the VTB United League tournament, the Moscow team (10/4) is fourth among 13 participants.
