Joel Embiid Signs a Mammoth Four-Year, $196 Million Supermax Extension with the Philadelphia 76ers
Agreement Secures Embiid's Philadelphia Tenure Through 2026-27 Season
Extension Bolsters 76ers' Bid for an NBA Title
In a monumental move, Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid has inked a colossal four-year, $196 million supermax contract extension. This massive deal, which includes $213,280,928 in guaranteed money and an average annual salary of $53,320,232, will keep Embiid in Philadelphia through the 2026-27 season.
The extension, which comes on the heels of Embiid's remarkable 2021 NBA MVP runner-up finish, solidifies the center's status as a cornerstone of the 76ers franchise. Embiid has emerged as one of the league's most dominant big men, averaging 28.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game last season.
With this extension, the 76ers have made a clear statement of their commitment to building a championship-caliber team around Embiid. The contract, which has a total value of $261 million when combined with the two years remaining on his previous deal, positions Embiid as one of the highest-paid players in the NBA.
