AS Monaco Basket now turns its attention to a decisive Play-In Showdown against FC Barcelona Bàsquet at Salle Gaston Medecin.
A loss would not only end the season but also mark Mike James’s final EuroLeague appearance with the team.
James leaves behind a historic run in Monaco, becoming the EuroLeague’s all-time leading scorer and winning MVP for the 2023–24 season.
He also helped guide the club to consecutive Final Four appearances, including a runner-up finish in 2025.
There is some encouragement on the injury front, as Terry Tarpey and Nemanja Nedovic have returned to practice after extended absences.
Their status for the Barcelona game remains uncertain, but their presence provides a boost to a roster that had recently been down to nine available players.
Meanwhile, Nikola Mirotic is still sidelined.
