LeBron James announced Friday that he will be joining the Philadelphia 76ers next season, according to multiple reports. The 41-year-old is reportedly signing a two-year contract valued at $8 million, a significant discount, to play for the 76ers.
This move marks James' fourth team in his distinguished NBA career. His arrival in Philadelphia follows the team's acquisition of star player Jaylen Brown earlier this month in a trade with the Boston Celtics.
The details of James' free agency decision were initially reported by ESPN. The veteran forward's decision to join the 76ers continues a notable offseason for the franchise.
