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.
