LeBron James Debuts with 76ers in Pre-Season Loss
LeBron James, who joined the Philadelphia 76ers in July for what he termed his final NBA contract, made his pre-season debut on October 9, 2026, against the Brooklyn Nets, where the 76ers lost 114-108. In 18 minutes of play, James scored 10 points, secured four rebounds, provided five assists, and made one steal during the first half.
Despite the defeat, James expressed optimism about the team's potential, stating that they need time to develop chemistry and complement each other on the court. He played alongside teammates Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown, who led the scoring for Philadelphia with 18 points.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, is preparing for his record-extending 24th season and has previously won four NBA championships, including one with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. The 76ers aim to secure their first NBA championship since 1983.
