Sixers scrimmage will be first chance to see LeBron James, Jaylen Brown
The Blue x White scrimmage will be the first chance for fans to see LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in Sixers gear after a wild offseason.
James was introduced as a Sixer for the first time at the team's media day Monday after he signed with the team in July.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer and four-time champion, is ready to do whatever it takes to help the Sixers win their first championship since 1983.
"I didn't leave my family to lose in the second round," James said at media day.
Brown was officially introduced as a Sixer in August following the blockbuster deal that sent Paul George and two draft picks to the Boston Celtics.
New Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey, who replaced Daryl Morey, made the biggest splashes by landing James and Brown, but he also rounded out the roster with depth.
In the offseason, the Sixers signed forward Dean Wade, veteran shooter Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, shooting guard Anfernee Simons and center Ariel Hukporti.
The Sixers also drafted University of Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. in the first round of the 2026 NBA draft.
