When Will LeBron James Make His Philadelphia 76ers Debut? Date, Opponent And NBA Opening Night Details

LeBron James’ Philadelphia 76ers debut is being mapped as the NBA star officially confirmed his move on July 24 to start a record-extending 24th season. The 41-year-old could make his first appearance in a 76ers uniform against the Boston Celtics, with Philadelphia scheduled to play two preseason games versus the same opponent. The first matchup is set for October 10, while the Celtics travel to Philadelphia for a second game on October 16. The article also notes James spent 15 years in the Eastern Conference before eight seasons in the Western Conference with the Los Angeles Lakers. There is still no confirmation whether he will play in the preseason, or whether his debut could instead arrive in the regular-season opener. Separately, ESPN reports his Lakers exit related to concerns over a potential pay cut from a $52.6 million salary.
