Guyanese-American forward Delroy James uploaded a statement on an Instagram story, directed to ΑΕΚ Athens. James re-joined AEK for his second stint with the team on January, signing a 1+1 deal (club option for 2019-2020).

The post (slightly edited for editorial purposes) is as follows:

“Being professional is who I am, the two seasons spent was with love, honor, and respect by me to the people and the organization of AEK. We all sign contracts for a reason, if a player disobeys that contract, he will be penalized and the team will for sure penalize the player with zero hesitation. Every player that goes overseas does it for the love of their love of the game and for the love of their family and being able to provide. I have a Son. The organization of AEK KNOWS I have a SON and the assistance and great attention he needs but day by day, week by week, they LIE TO ME and test my patience as a Man, a Father and a provider. Like I started this piece on AEK, BEING PROFESSIONAL IS WHO I AM. Please try and pay the players what they are owed. You are taking food out of families’ mouth. And we know you would not do it on your own. Thanks.”

James played in AEK also in 2017-2018. He won the 2018 Basketball Champions League and Greek Cup titles plus the 2019 Intercontinental trophy with the club.

AEK has yet to react to James’ statement.
