From on-court workouts to group chats and team dinners, here are five key moments from LeBron James' first week with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers, bolstered by acquisitions including Jaylen Brown and Dean Wade, began training camp with intense focus on chemistry. On Sept. 28, James, Brown, Maxey, and Embiid worked out together before media day, emphasizing camaraderie and two-man plays to exploit opposing defenses.
Guard VJ Edgecombe started a group chat over the summer to connect the stars, jokingly claiming credit for the idea. Coach Nick Nurse kicked off camp by sharing 'the vision' with players in Camden, N. J.
The team's unprecedented talent infusion—including James on a veteran's minimum deal—has made them a fascinating contender. Their first preseason game awaits against the New York Knicks.
