LeBron returns to Cleveland. As a SIXER yes this sentence still seems strange. Tonight, LeBron James returns to Cleveland for the first time since choosing the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency. And elephants fly. 8–1 record five straight wins best record in the East.
⠀.
At age 41, LeBron is averaging: 15.7 points 7.4 assists 7.4 rebounds and Philadelphia has built a ridiculously veteran-heavy core around:.
LeBron James.
Joel Embiid.
Tyrese Maxey.
Jaylen Brown.
⠀.
Tonight's game is also considered for the NBA Cup. Philadelphia is already 1-0 in the second group.
Cleveland? They fell to 4–4 and enter the game dealing with injuries and back-to-back losses.
⠀.
LeBron spent 11 seasons with the Cavaliers. He gave Cleveland its only NBA title in 2016. Now he returns to the building wearing Philadelphia colors. This is going to look very strange. 00:30 UTC Saturday 76ers @ Cavaliers Stay in the game ⠀ Live MMA, boxing and more - watch combat sports now.
