A tense season start

After missing the end of the 2024-2025 season due to suspension, EuroLeague’s all-time leading scorer has yet to put on the Roca Team jersey. This situation raises concerns as the club prepares for a busy season in both Betclic ELITE and EuroLeague.

The outcome of this meeting will be closely watched by supporters and observers, given Mike James’s crucial importance to Monaco’s project.
