LeBron James joins 76ers as roster aims for title

LeBron James, 41, has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he will play his 24th NBA season, potentially as a power forward. The 76ers, now featuring All-Star Jaylen Brown along with Joel Embiid, V.J. Edgecombe, and Tyrese Maxey, aim for the 2027 NBA title. James’ addition enhances a star-studded lineup that will require players to adapt to sharing the floor. Health is a major concern, as both Embiid and James have faced injury issues in recent seasons. The 76ers also recently signed Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons and drafted Labaron Philon Jr.
