Philadelphia 76ers prepare for season with LeBron James and Jaylen Brown
The Philadelphia 76ers are entering the 2026-27 NBA season with a high-profile roster following the addition of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. The team's new core, which includes stars Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, recently held a joint workout in Los Angeles to begin preparations.
Discussions surrounding the team have focused on several key areas. Tyrese Maxey has emphasized the need for players to set aside their egos to ensure collective success. Meanwhile, the team's schedule has drawn attention, with some noting a favorable number of back-to-back games, which may assist in managing the physical demands on veterans James and Embiid.
Additional storylines include reports regarding LeBron James' living arrangements in New York City and the development of young talent like VJ Edgecombe. The 76ers' preseason schedule is set to begin in October, featuring matchups against the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
