Since the EuroLeague Final Four, Mike James (1.85 m, 35 years old) had never really been able to train with his AS Monaco team. This Friday, September 12, the Roca Team star rejoined the group after his contract extension until 2027.
With AS Monaco in Cyprus
The principality club was quick to share the news on social media to reassure fans. We can see a smiling MJ, alongside Matthew Strazel, Alpha Diallo and Nick Calathes. Now the question remains whether the Oregonian will head to Cyprus with AS Monaco to participate in a preparation tournament alongside Paris Basketball, Red Star Belgrade and Olympiacos.
This Saturday, September 13, AS Monaco faces Olympiacos at the Neofytos Chandriotis 2025 in Nicosia. The next day, Sunday 14, they will face the Serbians of Red Star Belgrade, also in Nicosia.
