Again, Embiid is arguably the best player in the NBA when healthy. But the problem is his health is always a question. He’s never played more than 68 games in a single season. Last year, he only played 39 total after tearing his meniscus before the All-Star break. That’s not ideal for a player a team will be investing more than $60 million into.

Centre Joel Embiid has signed a contract extension with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 30-year-old Cameroon-born player’s new contract is for the maximum three years and worth $193m (£145m), according to US reports.

The Philadelphia 76ers started their week by finding out that their application to build an arena in Philly was approved by Mayor Cherelle Parker. Later they signed Joel Embiid to a three-year 192.9-million-dollar contract extension.
