AS Monaco, Mike James reportedly expected to miss preseason
James underwent a ‘minor’ back surgery during the summer
According to Bebasket, AS Monaco’s point guard Mike James underwent a ‘minor’ back surgery during the summer to address an issue that affected him in the last part of last season.
The reigning Euroleague MVP will therefore miss the team’s training camp in Bormio and is not expected to return to the Principality until the second week of September.
James might also miss the first few Betclic Elite games, as Monaco hopes to get him back in time for their EuroLeague debut on Oct. 3 against Olimpia Milano.
