Edgerrin James reports son Jizzle James removed from Charlotte basketball roster

Jizzle James is no longer part of the Charlotte men's basketball program after being removed from the team's official roster. The guard had transferred to the 49ers this offseason to reunite with coach Wes Miller following a stint at Cincinnati. Edgerrin James, a former NFL running back and father of the player, confirmed on September 8, 2026, that his son is struggling with substance abuse. In a public statement, the elder James asked for privacy and support while noting that his son is not currently in the right state of mind. He explicitly requested that followers avoid providing money or material goods to the younger James. The transfer status of Jizzle James remains unclear as he departs the team prior to the upcoming season.
