LeBron James will wear the jersey No. 23 for Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA side confirmed on Monday.
The Eastern Conference team announced it on social media by posting a picture from the locker room, showing James’ jersey.
“I cannot wait to see LeBron alongside Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and our talented roster as we work to deliver a championship for Philly,” Sixers Managing Partner Josh Harris said in a press release.
“To LeBron and his family: we are grateful you chose the 76ers, and look forward to this next chapter of your legendary career. Welcome to the 76ers!”
LeBron had announced his decision to join Philadelphia on Friday and will now look to become the first player to win NBA championships with four different teams after lifting two titles with the Miami Heat and one each with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.
