Should the Sixers offer Joel Embiid a $193 million extension this summer?

On July 18, the Sixers can offer Joel Embiid a three-year, $192.9 million contract extension. He would have to decline his $59.0 million player option for the 2026-27 season and would then earn the following (based on current projections):

  • 2026-27: $59,539,200
  • 2027-28: $64,302,336
  • 2027-29: $69,065,472

Embiid would have to sign the extension prior to the first day of the 2024-25 regular season. Since he still has multiple years left on his contract, he will be ineligible to sign an extension once the regular season begins.

If he declines to sign an extension this summer, the Sixers could offer him a four-year, $266.
