Mike James and his team have not gone to Berlin today, where tomorrow CSKA Moscow will play with the local ALBA. There are contradictory assessments of this situation in the European media, the most serious of which is speculation that the defenseman’s career in the Russian capital is over.
Moscow CSKA / Schedule
This was first announced by Italian journalist Fabrizio Lorenzi, who worked for the Italian team Omegna in 2013, when he was represented by James, who is starting his career in Europe.
According to Lorenzi, James’ story in Moscow is over and he leaves the team.
Eurohoops.net journalist Nikos Varl reports that CSKA has yet to make a decision on James’ future with the team, but it should be done before the weekend.
“At that time, CSKA was already looking for a possible replacement,” Varlos said.
According to previous Greek media reports, James again shook his head with coach Dimitri Itoudis last week. Gazzetta.gr announced that the defender wanted to return to the United States to say goodbye to the deceased grandfather, but CSKA did not allow it.
The conflict between James and Itoudis was also at the beginning of the season, when the thirty-year-old defended a Euroleague match, but then returned to the field and was the most important blacksmith of the streak of twelve consecutive victories at CSKA, chosen the most profitable Euroleague in November.
CSKA have officially announced that James will miss the match in Berlin due to the club’s decision.
He has been playing for the Moscow team since 2019 and signed a new three-year contract last summer.
This season, James is averaging 20 points per Euroleague game, making 5.8 assists and bouncing 3.8 balls.
