Joel Embiid signing $193 million extension in statement 76ers move

This should put an end to any whispers Joel Embiid wants out of Philadelphia.

The star big man plans to sign a three-year, $193 million extension with the 76ers, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Friday morning.

The 30-year-old Embiid had two years and $110 million left on his contract and a player option for the 2026-27 season.

The extension will even further connect him to the only franchise he’s known.

The 76ers will be looking to make a leap this upcoming season after they were eliminated by the Knicks in six games in the first round in April.

The team signed star forward Paul George in free agency to pair with Embiid and rising point guard Tyrese Maxey in what should be a formidable contender in the Eastern Conference.
