Updated on December 18, 2025 at 8:29pm

James will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus the Hawks.

James will return to the second unit with LaMelo Ball back in action, so his minutes will likely dip Thursday. As a reserve this season, James owns averages of 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 triples in 22.5 minutes per game.
