This week, CSKA has to play two Euroleague matches: on Tuesday with Zenit in Saint Petersburg and on Thursday with Chimki in the Moscow region.
This is not the first time this season that a black cat has run between a 30-year-old American defender and a 50-year-old basketball specialist from Greece.
The last conflict between the player and the coach took place over the weekend during the VTB United League match with Kazan UNIKS.
A few minutes into the game, the American had a fight with the coach, was replaced and left the locker room. He did not return to the field, but CSKA achieved a resounding 102: 86 victory without M. James.

The conflict between the basketball player and the coach arose due, according to D. Itoudis, to the negligent play of M. James in defense.
A spokesperson for the CSKA club claimed after the game that Mr. James suffered from abdominal pain during the game, and when asked about the conflict with the basketball player, Mr. Itoudis again began to raise his voice telling the truth to the media, but did not. go into detail about the confrontation with Mr. James.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate. For now. All things considered, I think you know who I am, right? Do you know who I represent, what are the principles of my work, what is my dedication?” The Greek spoke in an elevated tone.
Speech by D. Itoudis – in the recording of 17 min. 55 sec.
On one occasion, the CSKA camp and Mr. James were already angry in the middle of the season when the club failed to deliver the basketball player to his grandfather’s funeral in the United States.
It was then thought that the sides of the API would rotate in different ways, but the club leaders managed to find common ground with the basketball player and the dangerous CSKA soldier returned to the lineup, at least temporarily.
Later, when Anapilin left another close American relative, the star of the team had the opportunity to leave for his homeland.
James earns an average of 19.3 points per game in the Euroleague and is the most productive player in the tournament this season. CSKA (10/20) ranks second in the tournament table.
The American has also faced other basketball professionals who have coached him before in Europe.
