LeBron James, Jaylen Brown Workout Together on Wednesday

The Philadelphia 76ers have two massive additions joining the team this coming season: LeBron James and Jaylen Brown.

LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, two significant additions to the Philadelphia 76ers, worked out together on Wednesday. The 76ers secured Brown in a substantial trade with the Boston Celtics earlier this summer. Just a few weeks later, James finalized his decision to rejoin the team by signing a two-year deal. The trio, along with point guard Tyrese Maxey, trained with Chris Johnson in Los Angeles.

Johnson shared photos from the workout on his Instagram account, as reported by NBA insider Dave McMenamin of ESPN. The 76ers' projected starting lineup also includes 2022-23 league MVP Joel Embiid and rising NBA star VJ Edgecombe. With this powerful roster, Philadelphia is considered one of the top contenders to win the Eastern Conference.

The 76ers are set to kick off their 2026-27 season with an Opening Day game against the reigning NBA champions, the New York Knicks, on October 20.
