Mike James Reportedly to Sign with Brooklyn Nets
ACCORDING TO REPORTER CHEMA DE LUCAS ON TWITTER, former NBA player Mike James will reportedly sign with the Brooklyn Nets.
James averaged over nine points per game in 36 NBA games with the Suns and Pelicans during the 2017-18 season.
Most recently, he played for CSKA Moscow in Russia.
At point guard, he could add depth to a Nets team that has been hampered by injuries this season. During Sunday's first-quarter All-Star, Kevin Durant went down with an injury that led him to miss the remainder of the game after playing just four minutes.
The Nets called the injury a left thigh contusion, and after being tied with the Heat 107-107 in the game's final seconds, they lost on a last second buzzer-beater
With James Harden also out during the game, role-player Landry Shamet stepped up with 30 points off the bench, and Irving went off for 20 points and dished out nine assists. The Nets do need depth with the injuries piling up.
The Nets have yet to confirm the signing of James.
