NBA.com's story, updated July 27, 2026, says he announced the move on social media Friday and that it became official on Sunday. His posts on that story are dated July 24, 2026, and the 76ers' post is dated July 27, 2026. The same story says he told the Lakers on June 30 that he would not return. He said, \"I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.\" That is his statement, not a prediction from this page."},{"question":"Is 2026-27 LeBron's 24th season?","answer":"Yes.
