What happened
LeBron James is set for his first game at Madison Square Garden as a Sixer on Tuesday, when Philadelphia opens the season against the Knicks on New York’s ring night.
The article says James and Rich Paul believed he would have signed with New York if the Knicks had not won the title, but after their championship, he chose Philadelphia instead.
This is an opening-night spotlight game, but it does not create new confirmed lineup or minute information. The main rotation takeaway remains that James is part of Philadelphia’s new core, while the rest of the usage picture is still unsettled.
