LeBron James was held to just eight points as the Philadelphia 76ers suffered a 119-95 defeat against his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in an NBA Cup group stage game. It marked only the 10th time in 1,630 regular-season appearances that the 41-year-old failed to score double digits. James shot 3 of 12 from the field and committed six turnovers in 31 minutes during his return to Cleveland.
James received boos from the Cavaliers crowd during the first half and was not given a video tribute. The defeat dropped the Eastern Conference-leading 76ers to an 8-2 record, while head coach Nick Nurse acknowledged Philadelphia looked lacklustre against a sharp Cleveland side.
