Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has signed an extension with the team.
Philadelphia announced on Monday that it has signed a multi-year contract extension with Embiid. The duration and amount have not been announced, but U.S. sports media ESPN reported that it is worth 192.9 million U.S. dollars for three years.
As a result, Embiid will play for Philadelphia during the 2028-2029 season. The annual salary for the 2028-2029 season, the final season of his contract, is 69 million U.S. dollars.
Embiid is the center designated by Philadelphia as the third overall pick of the 2014 Rookie Draft. He stopped Nikola Jokic from losing three consecutive MVPs and was named the 2022-2023 regular league MVP, and boasts a brilliant career, including being the top scorer in 2022 and 2023, and a seven-time All-Star.
Born in Cameroon, he also acquired French nationality in 2022, but eventually competed in the U.S. national team uniform at this year’s Paris Olympics and won a gold medal.토토사이트 모음
“Philadelphia is my hometown,” Embiid said. “I want to play here until the end of my career.” The best record for Philadelphia is to advance to the second round of the playoffs after recruiting Embiid. It was in 1983.
