Embiid’s Health Could Make His Contract Pay Off | Philadelphia 76ers News

Joel Embiid’s massive $58M salary is under fire as Bleacher Report labels him “overpaid” — but the Sixers are banking on a healthier, more motivated version of the MVP-caliber big man to lead them to glory.

Yet, team execs say Embiid’s offseason was his healthiest in years, and with new stars LeBron James and Jaylen Brown joining the roster, Philly’s optimism is high. The key? A carefully managed workload to keep Embiid on the court and maximize his impact. If he delivers, the contract’s a steal; if not, it’s a costly gamble.
