LeBron James made his preseason debut for the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, recording 10 points and five assists in a 114-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The 41-year-old took only one field-goal attempt, a second-quarter layup, while shooting a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line before sitting out the entire second half.

James joined Philadelphia's revamped starting lineup alongside fellow newcomer Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid. The 22-time All-Star signed a two-year, $8 million free agent deal with a player option with the 76ers in July after spending last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
