LeBron, Brown scrimmage for 76ers as fans flock for first look

LeBron James called the Philadelphia 76ers' intrasquad scrimmage a great first step as the team showcased its new-look lineup on Saturday. Playing in front of approximately 10,000 fans at Xfinity Mobile Arena during the annual Blue-White game, James joined Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, and VJ Edgecombe in the starting unit for the Blue team.

James also highlighted Embiid's improved health compared to their 2024 Olympic run, noting the center has not missed practice. The scrimmage featured three 10-minute quarters simulating late-game scenarios before head coach Nick Nurse's squad opens its preseason against the New York Knicks on Monday.
