LeBron James Signing with the Philadelphia 76ers
The two-year, $8 million deal pairs James with Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid, making Philadelphia a leading title contender, USA TODAY Sports said.
- On Friday, July 24, 2026, LeBron James announced he will join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year deal worth $8 million, pursuing another championship late in his historic career.
- Philadelphia cleared salary space by trading veteran forward Paul George to the Boston Celtics for All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown, enabling the team to pursue the league's all-time leading scorer.
- James joins a starting lineup featuring 2022-23 MVP Joel Embiid, two-time All-Star Tyrese Maxey, and all-rookie team selection V.J. Edgecombe, forming one of the league's strongest rosters on paper.
- These roster shifts position the Sixers as top Eastern Conference favorites, directly challenging the defending champion New York Knicks despite age and durability concerns.
- Historically, James has taken two years to lead new teams to championships; long-term success will likely depend on maintaining health through the postseason despite the immediate title window.
