Suns reportedly releasing point guard Mike James

Phoenix Suns guard Mike James has been released according to Shams Charania of The Vertical.

What It Means:

James had fallen out of favor in Phoenix as Isaiah Canaan has passed him up as the backup to Tyler Ulis at the point. James had a strong start to the season, earning himself a contract for the rest of the season but now will be looking for a new team. Don't expect the rookie to be out of work too long.

James averaged 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 20.9 minutes per game this season.
