Can LeBron James still carry the 76ers to a title at 41 with chronic arthritis?

The 2026-27 NBA season tips off October 20 with LeBron James making his Philadelphia 76ers debut at Madison Square Garden against the defending-champion Knicks. He signed a two-year, $8 million veteran-minimum deal in July, and an October 5 ESPN report said he has been managing chronic arthritis in his left foot through daily pre-practice stretching and a workload adjustment under coach Nick Nurse. Supporters say the cast around him — Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey — is the strongest of his career, and a reduced-usage role could keep him fresh for a deep playoff run. Skeptics counter that 41-year-old legs plus chronic foot arthritis do not survive a seven-game East bracket, and Embiid himself has missed most of three straight postseasons.

Philly quietly won the summer — swapping Paul George’s contract for Jaylen Brown is the steal of the decade.

LeBron’s ‘last decision’ to sign with the 76ers is a nostalgia move — Philly still won’t get out of the second round.

Was Michelle in ‘Oreogate’ right to ask other parents to stop packing Oreos?

AI data centers should be required to build their own power sources instead of drawing from the public grid.
