Mike James Signs With Anadolu Efes After Leaving Monaco
Mike James, the top scorer in EuroLeague history, has officially joined Anadolu Efes after five seasons with Monaco. The announcement came on July 11, 2026, following extensive speculation about his next destination. James averaged 16.4 points and 6.5 assists per game last season and will now embark on his sixth EuroLeague team. His previous clubs include Baskonia, Panathinaikos, Milan, CSKA Moscow, and Monaco. James left Monaco due to financial difficulties and the team's relegation to the EuroCup. He signed a one-year contract with Anadolu Efes, including an option for a second year, and is expected to replace Shane Larkin, who recently departed the club.
