76ers' Embiid gets extension

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid has deep into the decade to try and win his first NBA championship with Philadelphia. Another big-money deal locked up, the All-Star nicknamed “The Process” wants to end his career a Sixers lifer.

The 76ers kept their trust in Embiid and signed the 7-footer to a multiyear contract that a person familiar with the situation said was a four-year, $196 million extension, taking him through the 2026-27 season.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because specific terms of the deal announced Tuesday were not made public.
