CNN —Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a three-year, $192.9 million maximum contract extension, a source familiar with the contract figures told CNN.
Taking his total career earnings to $514.8 million, Embiid would become the fifth member of the NBA’s $500M club, joining LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and 76ers teammate Paul George.
I had no idea when I was drafted as a 20-year-old kid from Cameroon how lucky I was to be in Philadelphia,” Embiid said in a statement.
We’re ecstatic that this extension keeps him and his family in Philadelphia for years to come,” 76ers managing partner Josh Harris said in a statement.
During his career, Embiid has made the All-NBA Team five times, the All-Star team in each of the last seven years, and was NBA scoring champion in both 2021-22 and 2022-23.
