Sparks broke out between Dimitri Itoudis and Mike James at the CSKA camp in Moscow. The fifth most productive player in the Euroleague was not registered for the match with Vitoria Baskonia this Thursday and did not appear at the Moscow Sports Palace.

After the match, Itoudis declined to comment on the situation regarding James. The president of CSKA, Andrei Vatutin, assumes the same position.
“It’s a club affair, no comment,” Vatutin quoted RIA Novosti as saying.
At the time, the Greek publication Gazzetta.gr reported that James had a conflict with Itoudis during training. According to sources, the club has even begun to deliberate on terminating its contract with James for violating disciplinary rules.
However, RIA Novosti said on Friday that the basketball player will not be fired and that he should come to Kaunas for Tuesday’s Euroleague game with Žalgiris.
“CSKA is well aware that keeping silent about James’ situation allows rumors to develop, and it does so deliberately,” RIA Novosti quoted a source close to CSKA as saying. – There is no public confirmation of rumors about James’ misconduct when communicating with Itoudis.
Mike is expected to play in Kaunas, but it seems that the general situation of the player and the coach is still developing.
CSKA, who played without James, defeated Baskonia, represented by Rokas Giedraitis and Tadas Sedekerskis, 89:86 on Thursday after a moody fight.
The American is competing in the Euroleague for an average of 30 minutes this season, scoring 16.4 points, making 5.3 assists and grabbing 2.3 balls. CSKA won five times in eight rounds.
