LeBron James makes 76ers debut

CAMDEN, New Jersey — LeBron James took his seat and fidgeted with a microphone before he tossed his identification placard on the ground. “You guys know who I am, right?” James asked. Sure do. No introduction needed. LeBron James, the most famous basketball player in the world and the NBA's career scoring leader, was indeed in a No. 23 Philadelphia 76ers jersey. He's happy to play for the Sixers, happy to play with close friend and fellow All-Star Tyrese Maxey and happy to start a record 24th NBA season — with no promises of how long his career is going to last. James did make one vow: He's not in Philadelphia to lose. “I didn't leave my family,” James said Monday, “to lose in the second round.” James, Maxey, Joel Embiid and the other new star Sixers player, Jaylen Brown, were all on hand for media day ahead of the start of training camp and what figures to be the most anticipated season in Philly since Julius Erving's heyday. James is the undisputed star of the show. The usual assortment of beat writers and bloggers were dwarfed inside the Sixers' complex in New Jersey by cameras and questions from media entities far beyond the NBA scope. James, naturally, handled himself like a true professional, used to the global spotlight since he was put on a basketball pedestal as a teenager. “Understand that the noise is going to be the noise,” James said. “What happens outside of this building is going to consistently happen, and it's going to be doubled and triple and quadrupled down on you. It just comes with the territory. I understand it.” Much as James did for Cleveland when he ended a 52-year championship drought for the city by leading the Cavaliers to the title in 2016, he's in Philadelphia largely to help snap a championship drought for the Sixers that stretches to 1983 — just one year before James was born. The Sixers went 45-37 last season and were swept in the second round by the eventual champion New York Knicks. Enter a summer makeover already boosted by the shocking trade with Boston for Brown and anchored by James’ arrival. The 41-year-old James — new teammate Justin Edwards called him “Unc” — signed a modest $8 million, two-year contract on the veterans’ minimum with the Sixers. The contract might be the minimum. The outlook is pretty much championship-or-bust for a franchise that has failed to advance out of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs since 2001. So how will James mesh with Maxey? Pay heed with Embiid? Bond with Brown? Pretty easily, actually — for now. “I think the luxury of my game is, I can do everything,” James said. “Literally, I can do everything.” He can back up the boast. He’s a 22-time All-Star, a 21-time All-NBA selection, a four-time Most Valuable Player, a four-time NBA Finals MVP, a three-time All-Star Game MVP and a member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. He also is coming off a season with the Lakers in which he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. For his career, he has averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in more than 1,600 games. “Him being here is really cool,” Maxey said. His pull with James had an added benefit — Maxey got him on the team text group chat. VJ Edgecombe said he organized a thread once Brown was traded, but the idea got complicated once James signed in July. “LeBron came, and obviously I don’t got LeBron James’ number,” Edgecombe said. “I can’t say, ‘go add 'Bron to the group chat.’ Besides, even if I had his number, why would I randomly add LeBron to a group chat? You get what I’m saying? So I told Tyrese to do it.” James weighed his career options after flirting with retirement at the end of last season. The pull to stay at his family home in Los Angeles rather than moving to the East Coast was tempting. James noted that one son plays college ball at Arizona, his daughter just started middle school and “my oldest son, my former teammate, is starting his third year in Los Angeles.” That, of course, would be Bronny James. Don't forget his wife, Savannah, whom James noted “is doing so many unbelievable things right now in her own personal journey.” After time away with family, and still feeling physically and mentally strong in offseason workouts, James decided he wanted to keep playing. With key members of Sixers ownership and the front office watching from the side, James declined to get into the issue of how much longer he wants to play. His lone focus, he said, was learning how to play with new teammates — most, like Embiid, haven't won a title — and trying to bring the championship mentality he knows so well from winning titles with the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers to the Sixers. “I hope that I can, you know, bring that experience, bring that knowledge, bring the blueprint to the guys that's trying to accomplish some things that they haven't done in their career,” James said. “I've seen everything that this league has to offer on the floor and off the floor, so I hope that every single day with my approach to the game, approach to the work, that it can translate to every single guy." James started his career in Cleveland in 2003 and spent seven seasons with the Cavs before heading to Miami for four seasons — where he won his first two NBA titles. He then returned to Cleveland for four more seasons, including that title run in 2016, and left in 2018 for the Lakers. He won a title in LA in 2020. He won't set a timetable on how many years he has left in his career. “I don't want to speak on the future right now,” James said. “I think that would be doing a disservice to myself on just living in the moment, especially knowing that I am where I am in my career.” Unbelievably, that's Philadelphia.

Wemby ready for NBA Spurs to move rivals in climb to top

SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama said he still struggles to sleep sometimes following San Antonio's loss to New York in June's NBA Finals, but the French superstar predicts the Spurs will be tougher this season. "We're fighting for the top spot of the mountain," Wembanyama said on Monday. "We're going to have to move people in our way." The 7-foot-4 (2.24m) center reached his first NBA Finals in only his third season since being selected first overall in the NBA Draft, but the Spurs fell to the Knicks in five games. "I couldn't imagine better motivation," Wembanyama said. "We're in a great spot, very hopeful, very ambitious and ready. "We won the West last year and we don't want to do anything less this year. We want to be the first seed and we want to keep fighting for the top spot." Wembanyama said there remains an emotional toll from the heartbreak. "We have to go through some emotions and some of that you have to go through alone," said Wembanyama. "Hard to find sleep sometimes, hard emotions. "There's a just a point where you accept that you have to go through it and feel all of it. We're going to face these emotions, face the reality that we have 100 games to play." "Wemby" was last season's NBA Defensive Player of the Year and led the league in blocked shots for a third consecutive season. The 22-year-old Frenchman said he felt the Spurs' 22-game playoff run last season made him better. "It feels like going through something of great magnitude," he said. "I never played so many games or so many minutes. We still pushed through it. "I'm in better shape than I could have expected right now just off experiences and growing." Wembanyama is prepared to be the hunted among NBA clubs instead of chasing other favored clubs. "It feels like we're in our place. It feels normal," said Wembanyama. "There are high expectations around us. We will play each team at their best every night. No one will be surprised by our performances now." Wembanyama averaged NBA career highs of 25.0 points and 11.5 rebounds last season as well as 3.5 assists, 3.1 blocked shots and 1.1 steals a game for the Spurs.

Clippers apologize to fans amid Leonard scandal

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Clippers on Monday apologized to fans and warned of grave challenges ahead after the NBA franchise was hit with severe penalties for its violations of salary cap rules. Earlier this month, the Clippers were fined a record $30 million, stripped of five first-round NBA Draft picks and had multiple leadership figures banned after a probe uncovered violations involving payments to former star Kawhi Leonard. After initially pledging to fight the sanctions, the Clippers have since pledged to comply with the NBA's decision. They begin their new season on October 21 against the Sacramento Kings. "Obviously, this took a little longer than we had hoped. You guys deserved to hear from us before this. Our fans deserved to hear from us before this, and for that, we're sorry," said Trent Redden, interim head of basketball operations, at the team's media day. Redden was standing in for Lawrence Frank, one of several Clipper executives suspended over the scandal, along with team owner Steve Ballmer. Redden said running the team "will be a challenge without them" and warned that the "penalties we are facing are significant." "These challenges are large, not just the penalties, but some of the injuries that we've already faced as well," he added. Forward Brandon Ingram -- one of two players the Clippers acquired in exchange for trading Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors -- will miss the start of the new season as he recovers from surgery on a partially torn Achilles tendon, said Redden. Shooting guard Bradley Beal will miss the start of training camp due to a knee injury, while young star Jordan Miller will not be available for months after surgery to repair a torn left rotator cuff. "This franchise often has done its best work with its back against the wall," said Redden. "We hope to represent our fans the same way we always have in dark times -- by coming out fighting." The NBA investigation found the Clippers aided Leonard in evading salary cap rules in deals worth millions of dollars with team corporate sponsors when he signed in 2022. The probe found the club induced companies to enter into agreements with Leonard by offering them business, paid personal expenses for Leonard and his representatives, and failed to report improper solicitations for income opportunities by Leonard's then-business manager. John Gibson, a Los Angeles lawyer and long-standing Clippers fan, has been appointed interim governor and chief executive officer during Ballmer's year-long suspension. Netanyahu asked Sheikh Mohamed to deny the report, according to a person said to have firsthand information about the meeting. Netanyahu’s office had previously denied the Haaretz report. The person, along with a regional official briefed on the meeting, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the secret trip. The UAE’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on reports about the meeting but stressed it maintains “open and direct lines of communication” with Israel and shares “all relevant intelligence.” There was no immediate comment from Netanyahu’s office. But the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, filed a complaint with Israel’s chief military censor against Channel 12 over what it called a serious censorship violation. It said the timing of the report endangered the prime minister and the operation and forces on the ground and exposed Shin Bet operational methods. The PMO said Channel 12 reported the flight at 9:38 p.m. while the plane was still outside Israel and about an hour before it landed. —By Josef Federman in Jerusalem and Samy Magdy in Cairo EU applies for observer status in a Saudi mission in the Red Sea The European Union is applying for “observer status” in a new multinational maritime defense coalition led by Saudi Arabia formed to protect the kingdom’s energy exports. The bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas made the announcement on Monday, ahead of a Brussels meeting. The energy-hungry EU is facing record energy prices due to the war in Iran. Kallas said she will ask for an expansion of the bloc’s own small naval force in the Red Sea dubbed ASPIDES to help escort cargo vessels through the key strategic chokepoint of the Bab el-Mandeb strait and protect them from attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Kallas said the “need is bigger than it’s ever been” for more ships. It’s unclear what observer status in the Saudi-led coalition would mean operationally for either the EU or ASPIDES. Supreme leader says Iranian troops defended the Strait of Hormuz from the enemy Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has praised his country’s fighters for allegedly preventing “enemy forces” from “roaming freely” in the Strait of Hormuz. Khamenei said in a message carried by the state broadcaster on Monday that Iran’s enemies now “do not come" closer to the strait than the Arabian Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean. Soon, "the Arabian Sea too, will be rid of them,” said the message, issued to mark the two-year anniversary of the killing of the militant Hezbollah group's longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon. Khamenei hasn't been seen or heard publicly since the opening attacks of the war on Feb. 28 that killed his father and previous supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. WHO says more people have been killed or wounded in Yemen The World Health Organization said Sunday it has documented 164 deaths and 645 injuries from the war in Yemen between Sept. 19 and Sept. 26. This brings the overall casualties since Aug. 6 to 4,481, with 838 fatalities. The latest intense fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and Yemeni government forces has displaced more than 180,000 people. Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 1 person, wound others A woman was killed and her husband wounded when an Israeli strike hit a Gaza City rooftop on Monday, Shifa Hospital officials said. Another person was also wounded and in critical condition. The Israeli military later said it was aware of this strike and was looking into its results. Later Monday, a second Israeli strike, on a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp, left one person critically injured, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza. The Israeli military said it targeted a “military operative,” but did not immediately provide further details or identify the individual. More than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza ceasefire took effect nearly a year ago. Around half of that number are women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which maintains detailed records that international organizations consider reliable. UN envoy says West Bank settler violence at ‘unprecedented levels’ The United Nations' acting Mideast envoy said Monday that settler violence in the West Bank has reached “unprecedented levels” – often with Israeli forces present. Ramiz Alakbarov told the U.N. Security Council that 630 documented settler attacks between June 13 and Sept. 18. resulted in casualties, property damage or both. Three Palestinian communities were "fully depopulated" during that period, he said, "bringing to 49 the number of communities fully displaced under similar circumstances since January 2023.” Israel’s expansion of settlements in the West Bank, in violation of international law, also threatens prospects of a contiguous Palestinian state and a two-state solution, Alakbarov said. An Israeli minister vows to press on with West Bank settlement project Israel’s polarizing Cabinet minister in charge of settlement construction, Bezalel Smotrich, has condemned a decision by the attorney general to freeze a contentious project near Jerusalem. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered the project to be put on hold until after the Oct. 27 elections so it wouldn't “be used for election propaganda.” The project — known as E1 settlement development — is especially controversial because it would carve out a strategic section of the West Bank in a way that critics say would destroy hopes for a viable future Palestinian state. Smotrich accused on X Baharav-Miara of “interfering in the election campaign” and acting in the service of Netanyahu’s political opponents. Israel reprimands Spain over youth minister's controversial remarks Israel summoned the Spanish Embassy’s chargé d’affaires over remarks by Spain's youth minister who declared the country's public support for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” — a slogan that implies a call for the elimination of the Israeli state. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said Monday that Spanish Youth Minister Sira Rego’s remarks were “part of a systematic anti-Israel policy pursued by the Spanish government” and its leader, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Rego was barred from entering Israel in Sept. 2025.

Eala makes fast start as weather and transport woes hit Asian Games

NAGOYA, Japan — Philippines tennis trailblazer Alexandra Eala was in ruthless mood at the Asian Games on Monday as rain disrupted some events and Japanese organisers faced renewed accusations of mismanagement. Eala launched her title charge with victory in just 55 minutes against the outclassed world number 517 Patcharin Cheapchandej. Eala, ranked 18 and favorite for gold in Nagoya, thrashed the Thai 6-1, 6-0, after the bad weather delayed the start and forced the match inside onto a smaller court. Top seed Eala will face Taiwan's UK-born eighth seed Joanna Garland in the quarter-finals. Eala, 21, last month became the first player from the Philippines to win a WTA Tour title. Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting, the Olympic champion who was thrust into a major gender row at Paris 2024, guaranteed herself at least a bronze medal. Lin defeated North Korea's Won Un Gyong in the women's 60kg class in Nagoya to reach the semi-finals, as she chases a second Asian Games gold. The 30-year-old told AFP ahead of the Games that she had considered retiring after the Paris Olympics but wanted to carry on fighting in part to defy those who questioned her eligibility. Lin and Imane Khelif of Algeria were disqualified from the 2023 world championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) after the organization said they failed unspecified gender eligibility tests. However, the IOC allowed them to compete in Paris, saying they were victims of "a sudden and arbitrary decision" by the widely discredited IBA. Both went on to win gold. Rain fell steadily throughout the evening on the athletics, where Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage embellished his fast-growing reputation with men's javelin gold. China extended their dominance in diving, where they are unbeaten, as the country's overall haul of golds swelled to 131 by Monday evening. Hosts Japan are a distant second in the medals table and South Korea third. 'Rain has ruined everything' India and Pakistan stayed on course to meet in the men's cricket final after both quarter-finals were abandoned because of rain and a sodden outfield. Pakistan went through first against Hong Kong without a ball being bowled under competition rules that say the highest-seeded side progresses. A few hours later, with rain in the air, India progressed against Afghanistan with no prospect of play. "We played two matches here on this ground, so we know the condition very well, but unfortunately the rain has ruined everything," said Afghanistan's Mohammad Akram. Sri Lanka play Nepal and Bangladesh face Malaysia in the last two quarter-finals on Tuesday. However, more rain is forecast. Cricket and tennis were not the only sports to face disruption, with softball also hit with a delay. Golf is due to start Wednesday but the wet weather ruined practice. 'Totally unfair' Organizational chaos again dogged the Games when the official bus carrying the Pakistan men's volleyball team went to the wrong venue. Pakistan's group game with Uzbekistan had to be pushed back 45 minutes. "This is another mismanagement by Japan at the ongoing Asian Games," Pakistan captain Murad Jehan said from the bus in an Instagram video. "We have a very important game and the bus driver does not know in which gymnasium we are going to play," he said in the clip with a caption reading, "Embarrassing situation at Japan Asian Games 2026. Totally unfair." He added: "We couldn't expect this in Japan. There is a lot of mismanagement." It is more embarrassment for red-faced organizers of the Games, where there have been numerous complaints about the accommodation and transport. Pavel Eygel of Uzbekistan became the fourth athlete of the event to be provisionally suspended for failing a doping test. The canoeist, who had been due to compete on Tuesday, tested positive for the banned heart medication trimetazidine.
