Joel Embiid signs $193 million extension in statement 76ers move
NY Post
This will put an end to any whispers Joel Embiid wants out of Philadelphia.
The star big man signed a three-year, $193 million extension with the 76ers, he announced on Instagram on Friday morning.
The 30-year-old Embiid had two years and $110 million left on his contract and wiped out his player option for the 2026-27 season.
He is now signed through the 2028-29 season and will make $299.5 million for the duration of the contract, ESPN reported.

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
