LeBron James Debunks Practice Tardiness Claim

LeBron James recently refuted a story that circulated concerning his Philadelphia 76ers teammate, Joel Embiid. Announcer Mike Breen had shared an anecdote during a broadcast, suggesting Embiid arrived late to practice, prompting a scolding from James. This type of story is common during training camp, often highlighting a veteran establishing team accountability.

However, James took to social media to directly counter the claim, stating, "He ain't been late so stop the lies." This public denial addresses the narrative, even though Embiid has faced similar accusations of tardiness in the past. Despite past reports, James insists the recent incident did not happen. The team, with its high-profile additions, is expected to generate significant media interest throughout the season.
