LeBron James signs with 76ers, expected to average fewer points next season

LeBron James has signed a two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers worth approximately $8 million. Experts predict he may average fewer than 20 points per game in the upcoming season, marking a potential career first. Last season, James averaged 20.9 points, but his scoring has declined steadily over recent years. The 76ers are expected to manage his workload to maintain his health and effectiveness throughout the season. As the team integrates James, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid will likely handle more ball control duties.
