context_page_description: James Michael Scott is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. He played college basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers.
context_section_description: On June 28, 2012, Scott was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 43rd overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. On September 6, 2012, he signed with the Hawks. On December 1, 2012, he was assigned to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League. He was recalled by the Hawks on December 11, reassigned on March 1, and recalled again on March 6.
  On February 22, 2014, Scott scored a career-high 30 points in a 107–98 win over the New York Knicks. He became a primary scoring option off the bench for the Hawks in 2013–14, averaging a career-high 9.6 points per game on the season.
  On August 26, 2014, Scott re-signed with the Hawks. On March 14, 2015, he was ruled out indefinitely after suffering a left toe injury against the Denver Nuggets three days earlier. He missed 11 games with the injury, returning to action on April 4 against the Brooklyn Nets.
  After getting arrested in July 2015 for drug possession, many believed Scott would be cut by the Hawks. With his legal process still pending, Atlanta chose to keep Scott on the roster for the 2015–16 season. He shot a career-best 3-point percentage during the year, reaching as high as 40.9%.
  On October 31, 2016, Scott was ruled out for four weeks while undergoing a series of non-surgical procedures for his left knee soreness. During the 2016–17 season, he had three assignments to the NBA Development League, two with the Long Island Nets and one with the Delaware 87ers.
  On February 23, 2017, Scott was traded, along with the rights to Cenk Akyol and cash considerations, to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a top-55 protected 2017 second-round pick. He was waived by the Suns the following day.
