The Russian powerhouse reached an agreement to terminate the contract of the high-scoring guard.

"We have no doubts about Mike's skill level.We are grateful to him for many bright moments, spectacular style of play, ability to take responsibility in difficult times.I sincerely wish Mike the best of luck.I am sure he still has many personal and professional victories ahead of him," said CSKA President Andrey Vatutin in a statement.

Recently James was spotted playing for CSKA's youth team and it was evident the two sides couldn't find a solution for the relationship to continue.

James spent two seasons in Moscow. He was third in EuroLeague in scoring in the 2019-20 season (21.1 PPG). Last season, James was second in scoring with 19.3 points per game, but he left CSKA after 27 games and finished the season with the Brooklyn Nets.
