76ers' Joel Embiid signs $193 million contract extension

Yesterday at 08:10 AM

The Philadelphia 76ers have some high hopes heading into the 2024-25 campaign, and while that’s due to the strong offseason the team has put together, the main reason for their high hopes is superstar center Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian big man is arguably the most dominant player in the league, and when he’s on the court, Philadelphia is one of the most dangerous teams in the league.

Embiid played at an incredibly high level last season (34.7 PPG, 11 RPG, 5.6 APG, 52.9 FG%), even as he struggled to stay healthy. It’s clear, though, that he is the focal point of the Sixers operation, which is why the team ended up signing him to a huge three-year, $193 million contract extension on Friday morning.
