LeBron James took a sip of a fan’s wine after colliding with him during Philadelphia’s victory over Chicago. The incident occurred in the third quarter, when James was chasing a fastbreak. The fan, Troy Clemons, said James sampled the drink before going back onto the court.
Clemons later discarded the cup and got another drink. Philadelphia won the game 126-107 at Xfinity Mobile Arena on November 2, 2026. The victory moved the 76ers to a 7-1 season record, according to the NBA game summary.
James finished the contest with 15 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. His sip came after the contact with Clemons, adding an unusual moment to a game in which Philadelphia secured its seventh win of the season.
The collision and wine tasting were part of the same third-quarter sequence. James returned to the action after taking the sip, while Clemons replaced the cup and continued watching the game. Philadelphia’s 19-point margin remained the final result as the 76ers defeated Chicago.
