Joel Embiid has signed a three-year contract extension with the Philadelphia 76ers, keeping him with the NBA franchise through 2029.
A seven-time NBA All-Star, Embiid and the 76ers agreed to a $193 million extension with a player option for the 2028-29 season, a person familiar with the deal said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the terms have not yet been announced.
Embiid broke his own news early Friday morning when he posted a photo on Instagram of him signing a contract alongside team owner Josh Harris.
"Philadelphia is home," Embiid wrote. "I want to be here the rest of my career. I love this community and everything you've given me and my family. There is a lot more work to do. You guys deserve a championship and I think we're just getting started."
Embiid signed off with the familiar 76ers hashtag, "#trusttheprocess."
