- LeBron James officially signed a two-year, $8 million veteran's minimum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, a move he described as his "last decision" after previously considering retirement.
- The announcement was made on Friday, with the deal finalized on Monday, and the 76ers welcomed the four-time NBA MVP with a social media post featuring his No 23 jersey and a crown.
- James expressed enthusiasm for the new chapter, aiming to help the 76ers, who have not won an NBA championship since 1983, become a championship team alongside All-Stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown.
- James will turn 42 in December and brings an unparalleled resume, including 22 All-Star selections, four MVP awards, and four NBA championships with three different franchises, to a team that was swept in the second round last season.
- This signing also marks a reunion for James with Sixers president Mike Gansey, who previously served as general manager for the Cavaliers and has known James since high school.
