LeBron James returns for his 24th season, signing a two‑year, $8 million veteran‑minimum deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

LeBron James debuts with the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2026‑27 season, marking his 24th year in the NBA and a record‑setting career length. At 41, he signs a two‑year veteran‑minimum deal worth about $8 million—$3.88 M for 2026‑27 with a $4.07 M player option for 2027‑28—sacrificing $48 M to give the Sixers roster flexibility around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. The contract includes a player option, signaling James will likely play beyond 2026‑27 and continue chasing his fifth championship in Philadelphia. All signs point to a delayed retirement and another title quest.
Dean Wade's injury comes at a brutal time for the already banged up 76ers squad.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed on The Pat McAfee Show that LeBron James' helicopter deal with Fanatics complies with league rules because it was negotiated solely between the player and the sponsor, with no team involvement. Silver explained that such endorsement arrangements are allowed, but any team‑mediated deals would breach salary‑cap regulations. The clarification comes as James begins his first season with the Philadelphia 76ers, joining Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and new teammate Jaylen Brown. The 76ers open the 2026‑27 season on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, tip‑off at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.
Here's the final injury report for the NBA regular season-opener between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will open the season on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers without rotation forward Nae'Qwan Tommar Tomlin, who was diagnosed with a lower‑back stress reaction. The medical team will re‑evaluate him in three to four weeks, but the timeline could shift given the injury’s nature. Tomlin, who posted 5.8 points and 2.9 assists in 15.2 minutes per game last season, leaves the Cavs relying on Mario Hezonja and Thomas Bryant as backup bigs—both considered uncertain options. The loss could hinder Tomlin’s chance to secure a regular role early in the 2026‑27 campaign.
