O Philadelphia 76ers, time de LeBron James que reúne quatro all-stars — dois deles MVPs —, começou bem a temporada da NBA: em nove jogos, venceu oito e perdeu apenas um, resultados que colocam a equipe na liderança da Conferência Leste.
Nesta sexta-feira (6), o Philadelphia encara o Cleveland Cavaliers, clube que LeBron defendeu, às 21h30 de Brasília, na Rocket Arena, em Ohio, e vale pela fase de grupos da NBA Cup.
Outros jogos movimentam o dia. Na ponta da Conferência Oeste, o Portland Trail Blazers, com apenas uma derrota na temporada, recebe o Los Angeles Lakers, que tem Luka Doncic como protagonista: o esloveno é o maior pontuador da liga, com 38,5 por jogo em média.
Ainda na Califórnia, o Sacramento Kings recebe o San Antonio Spurs, de Victor Wembanyama. O francês vem de uma atuação marcante contra o Dallas Mavericks, com 52 pontos, 24 rebotes e oito tocos.
