What happened: The No. 1 pick said in June that sharing an NBA court with LeBron would be “crazy” and hoped the veteran would not retire. Their first meeting will come during Dybantsa’s rookie season.

Why it matters: LeBron’s return extends the overlap between NBA generations by another season. For Dybantsa, it adds a marquee test after going first overall in June.

What to watch: The first head-to-head date will become the next marker on Dybantsa’s rookie schedule.
