Mika signed a G League contract Monday and has been acquired by the Stockton Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Mika cut his ties with the Chinese club he was playing for Saturday and will return home to the United States and rejoin the team he left in late November. Prior to his overseas departure, Mika logged 37.2 minutes per contest and averaged 19.7 points per game for Stockton and he will likely contribute in a major way again now that he's back in the fold.

Mika was released by Xinjiang on Saturday, Sportando.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mika, who was averaging 19.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals across seven games for the Chinese club, brokered his release Saturday, presumably so the big man could return stateside. The 24-year-old impressed in six games for Stockton of the G League last year, generating 19.3 points, 15.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 37.2 minutes.

Mika has agreed to a buyout of his G-League contract with Stockton, Adam Johnson of 2 ways and 10 days reports.

EDGE Analysis

The circumstances surrounding the contract buyout are unclear, though it's a surprising move considering Mika's had a strong season thus far, averaging 19.7 points, 16.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 37.1 minutes across six games. He's likely found a more well-paying option elsewhere, though a return to Stockton later this season isn't out of the question.

Mika scored 25 points (10-20 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-7 FT) and pulled down 13 rebounds while swatting three shots in a loss to Austin on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Mika saw over 43 minutes of playing time in the effort. He was efficient from the field, converting half of his field goal attempts, but struggled in going 3-of-7 from the line. The 24-year-old has posted per-game averages of 19.2 points and a league-leading 17.2 rebounds in five games this season. His 29.6 EFF ranks second in the league.

Mika generated 24 points (8-12 FG, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes Friday against Santa Cruz.

EDGE Analysis

Mika impressed in his season debut, recording his first double-double of the season and manging to contribute across the board. Equally important was the fact that the BYU alum tied for a team lead with 35 minutes, indicating that he can be expected to see a solid role for G League Sacramento this year.

Mika was waived by the Kings on Friday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mika has been with the Kings for nearly two months after signing a training camp deal with the team. He was solid during summer league with the Kings, but Mika ultimately couldn't do enough to earn a roster spot.

Mike signed a training camp contract with the Kings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mika spent summer league with the Kings, averaging 9.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in five appearances in Las Vegas. He'll join the team for training camp but should be considered a long shot to crack the final roster.
