James played one minute in Thursday's 112-108 loss to the Thunder, accruing no statistics during his time on the court.
EDGE Analysis
James entered the contest with 2:27 left in the third quarter but was pulled before the period ended in favor of Bogdan Bogdanovic. The rookie second-round pick has seen the floor in only seven of the Kings' last 16 games, playing four minutes or fewer in each of those appearances.

James was assigned to the G League on Tuesday, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
James was brought up to the parent club Sunday and logged three minutes against the Magic later that day, registering a rebound and a block. He'll head back to the G League, where he'll have a better chance to see consistent playing time.

James tallied 30 points (11-13 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT) in a G League win over Iowa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
James was sent down to the G League on Saturday and wasted no time making himself at home, making all but two of his field-goal attempts and racking up 30 points in 24 minutes. It was only the second G League appearance of the season for the undrafted rookie, who previously scored 17 points in 19 minutes Nov. 13.

James was assigned to the Stockton Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
James will head to Stockton for the first time this season, presumably in order to get additional in-game reps. Since totaling 14 points in 24 minutes on Dec. 20th against the Pacers, James' failed to see more than nine minutes in any single game and has racked up six DNP-CD's in 11 contests.

James accounted for 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block in 23 minutes Friday against Indian.
EDGE Analysis
James managed to reach double-figures for just the second time this season. The rookie guard's been left out of the rotation in six of the past seven games but managed to regain a role with both Trevor Ariza (personal) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) ruled out. Neither have particularly serious issues and are expected to return within the next couple of games which will presumably force James back to the fringes of the rotation.

James scored 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) while adding three rebounds, three assists and a steal in 33 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-97 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
He was the only member of the second unit to score in double digits, and incredibly, James accounted for half of the Kings' three-pointers on the night as the team shot a woeful 15.4 percent (4-for-26) from beyond the arc. The 22-year-old rookie hadn't played more than seven minutes in any game prior to Friday, but he seems headed for a much bigger role in the short term with Trevor Ariza (groin), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Aaron Fox (ankle) all banged up for Sacramento.

James was recalled from the G League on Thursday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
James made his G League debut Wednesday, notching 17 points, four assists, two rebounds and two blocks across 19 minutes. He'll rejoin Sacramento ahead of Friday's game against the Lakers, though he likely won't factor into the rotation.
