Joel Embiid Reportedly Leaves Wasserman Media Group: Latest Comments, Reaction

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid is reportedly seeking new representation after leaving the Wasserman Media Group, per Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com.

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported he will sign with agent Leon Rose.

Embiid won't become a restricted free agent until 2018. He has one more guaranteed year on his deal. He'll make a little over $4.8 million in 2016-17, and then the 76ers have a club option on him worth $6.1 million in 2017-18.

Foot injuries have prevented the former No. 3 overall draft pick from making his regular-season debut, and he'll likely be out the remainder of this year after undergoing foot surgery in August.
