Joel Embiid will remain in Philadelphia through 2029 after agreeing to a contract extension with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported that Embiid signed a three-year, $192.9 million contract extension, and that Embiid’s career earnings now rank fourth in NBA history, behind the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry and teammate Paul George. When Embiid’s extension expires, he will have earned $514.8 million.

Embiid’s deal caps one of the most productive offseasons in franchise history, which included the signing of…

Embiid had two seasons left on his current deal, but now his contract situation will be set through his 34th season. The lucrative deal comes after some elite production from the seven-time All-Star.

The center averaged 34.7 points, 11 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 39 games for the 76ers in 2023-24, coming off a 2022-23 season in which he claimed his first MVP award.

He helped Team USA to a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and now hopes that can lead to success for the 76ers as well.

Philadelphia has reached the postseason in seven consecutive seasons, but has failed to advance past the second round. With Embiid and George on big contracts, the 76ers hope to make inroads into the Eastern Conference in the coming seasons.
