This extension officially matches up Embiid’s contract with Tyrese Maxey’s newly signed deal. The Sixers have over $715 million committed to Embiid, Maxey and Paul George alone.


Congrats to Joel Embiid on yet another life-changing contract. It’s well deserved, given the patience and injury problems he’s had to work through throughout the past few years. Now, Embiid has a chance to accomplish a rarity — staying with one franchise for his entire career.



Joel Embiid is staying put in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. Embiid and the Sixers have agreed upon a $193 million extension over three years on top of his current deal. Embiid shared the news Friday morning on Instagram. The team made it official shortly after.


This three-year extension will add on to Embiid’s current contract with two years left. Below is the breakdown, year-by-year:


2024-25: $51.4M

2025-26: $55.2M

2026-27: $59.5M

2027-28: $64.3M

2028-29: $69.1M (player option)


Talk about some big numbers. Sheesh.



This move was always a no-brainer for the Sixers, as Embiid has been loyal and patient throughout several front office regimes and team changes. He’s coming off a career year, averaging 34.7 points and 11 rebounds per game. Now at age 30, this contract will pay him into his mid-30s.


Embiid still needs to accomplish some things to solidify his legacy, but his story will go down as one of the most fascinating in league history regardless. Just under a decade ago people were wondering if he’d play at all in the NBA. Now, this deal will ink him $515 million in career earnings — the fourth highest in NBA history.


Embiid put out a statement via Instagram, reflecting on his new deal: “Philadelphia is home. I want to be here for the rest of my career. I love this community and everything you’ve given me and my family. There is a lot more work to do. You guys deserve a championship and I think we’re just getting started.”
