LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers improved to 7-1 to start the 2026-27 season with a 126-107 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. The win showcased the team's new star-studded lineup featuring James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid.
During the third quarter, James chased an outlet pass into the stands and collided with a fan holding a cup of wine. James, known for his wine enthusiasm, took a sip from the fan's cup before returning to the court.
After the game, James explained the moment: "I spilled some of his wine, so I wanted to see if it was worth it on my arm, how good it was. It was aight. It was aight."
James finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists in 31 minutes. Maxey led the 76ers with 26 points and 11 assists, Brown added 25 points and 11 rebounds, and VJ Edgecombe contributed 21 points. The 76ers have yet to hit their full stride but continue to overwhelm opponents with talent.
