Embiid seals US$148m deal
Print Edition
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid sealed a five-year contract extension on Tuesday, with the injury-plagued Cameroon-born star saying he hoped to finish his career with the team. The 76ers did not confirm the financial terms of the deal but several US media outlets reported that Embiid stands to earn US$148 million over the course of the extension. If confirmed, it would mean Embiid, 23, is being paid the maximum allowed under the rookie wage scale, having played only 31 games over three seasons. Embiid missed the first two seasons after being drafted in 2014 and suffered a knee injury last season. “I love this city and I’m so, so, so, so excited to be spending my next five years here and hopefully the rest of my career, God willing,” Embiid said in a statement.
