LeBron James to join Philadelphia 76ers, Embiid reacts

LeBron James announced his move to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 25, 2026, ending long speculation about his next NBA team.

James, a four-time NBA champion, will partner with former MVP Joel Embiid in a highly anticipated combination.

A resurfaced 2021 video of Embiid celebrating excitedly at home was shared by a fan account with the caption "Embiid's reaction to getting LeBron," sparking buzz.
