The move, confirmed by his agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, includes a player option for the second year of the contract.

Through his social media, James revealed that he had even considered full retirement at the end of last season: “I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn’t ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I had played my last game.”

Why Did LeBron James Decide to Sign with the 76ers?

The player himself clarified the motives behind his decision: “This is my last decision. I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point? I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to compete.”

James will join a competitive core alongside Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. The veteran publicly expressed his conviction about this new chapter, stating: “I believe I can make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team, and I’m so excited to energize a new fanbase and start this incredible journey one last time.”

This move adds to his history of team changes in the NBA, which began after leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 to join the Miami Heat, returning to the Cavaliers in 2014, and later signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018 free agency. Now, he bids farewell to the California franchise with a direct message: “Thank you LA. Miami will forever have my love, and Northeast Ohio is always home!”
