NewzNBA superstar LeBron James made his pre-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday in Brooklyn, delivering a solid first-half performance. James, who signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the franchise in July, scored 10 points in 18 minutes of play. Despite his efforts and teammate Jaylen Brown leading the team with 18 points, the revamped 76ers ultimately fell 114-108 to the Brooklyn Nets after the Nets pulled away in the third quarter.
The game marked the first public appearance of the newly configured Philadelphia squad following James's high-profile offseason move. While the veteran forward showcased his capabilities during his limited minutes, the pre-season loss highlights the early-stage adjustments facing the re-tooled roster as they prepare for the upcoming NBA season.
