Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James is back on the grind ahead of his 24th season. He has never lacked the motivation to put in the work and embrace the process.

The 76ers certainly don’t appear to have a shortage of ways to score. In fact, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice writes that Philadelphia may have more offensive firepower than at almost any point in recent franchise history, with Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe giving coach Nick Nurse an almost ridiculous […] The post Sixers’ loaded offense gives Nick Nurse plenty of options, decisions appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom has declared his desire to have his first poster dunk in the WNBA on Angel Reese after his WNBA Draft declaration. Kanter seems to be going through with his plans to declare for the WNBA Draft and get selected, or exhaust all legal measures until he gets a shot, or the WNBA bans trans athletes from competing.

The Clippers acquired Mathurin from the Indiana Pacers at last year's trade dea...
