  "account": "Philadelphia 76ers stars Jaylen Brown and LeBron James will not be playing in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Boston Celtics, according to team representatives. The two additions to the 76ers' roster during the offseason will sit out the game to give resting periods to other players. Jaylen Brown, who was traded to Philadelphia from Boston in July, will have to wait until the team's first regular-season game at Boston to face his former team. LeBron James, who joined the 76ers in free agency, will also be on the bench for this game. The 76ers traded former Boston star Jaylen Brown to the team in a deal that sent Paul George and draft picks to Boston. The move ended Brown's 10-year tenure with the Celtics, who won an NBA championship and NBA Finals MVP in 2024. James, a four-time NBA champion, joined the 76ers in free agency, providing a fresh boost to the roster alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. The 76ers' preseason game against Boston could be an early test of how this star-studded lineup stacks up against their biggest rival.",
