The emblem will receive $ 196 million (€ 167 million) in four years, according to Sham Sharanja, basketball reviewer for The Athletic.
This means that Embīds together with the “76ers” will remain until the end of the 2026..2027 season.
The extension of the contract is reported to guarantee Embide $ 261 million (€ 222 million) as he will earn another $ 65 million (€ 55.4 million) in the last two seasons under the terms of the current contract.
Last season, Embīds took second place in the vote for the title of the most valuable player in the league, behind Nikola Jokiča of the Denver “Nuggets” center.
According to ESPN inspector Ramon Shelburne, the new agreement does not include a protective clause for clubs in the event of a serious Embid back or foot injury, as provided for in the Embid 2017 agreement.
He was diagnosed with a meniscus injury to his right leg during the playoffs, but Embyd continued to play with all the injuries and became the best player of the Philadelphia Club.
The emblem was included in the second team of NBA stars for the third time, marking the third honor in the All-NBA career. He has joined Allen Aiverson, Charles Barcley, Julius Irving, Moses Melon, Billy Canningham, Filty Chamberlain, Holly Grier and Dolf Shayce, who have ever managed to be included in the NBA star team three times as Philadelphia club players.
Last season, the emblem was the fourth in the NBA in 51 games, reaching a career record (28.5 points per game), winning 10.6 rebounds and taking 51.3% of the game. He reached 31 “double-double” in the 2020/2021 season, helping the 76ers win the Eastern Conference (49-23).
Since the 76ers were selected as the third number player in the 2014 draft, the Cameroonian has consistently had health problems that have prevented him from playing more than 64 games during the season. This year, he missed several games due to a bruise on his left knee.
However, he has averaged more than 20 points per game each season and has averaged 25.5 points per game over the last four seasons, won 11.8 rebounds, played 3.2 times and blocked opponents’ throws 1.6 times. At the same time, he’s getting better at three-point shots. In the 2020/2021 season, he hit 37.7% of his three-pointers in the basket, which is the best achievement of his career.
In the playoffs last season, the “76ers” in the second round with 3-4 conceded Atlanta “Hawks”.
