Welcome to our Sixers player preview series! Between now and Sixers Media Day on Sep. 30, we will preview each one of the 14 players on the team's standard roster, posing two critical questions that will help determine their fate in 2024-25 before making a prediction about the player's season to come.

The 76ers’ terrific offseason concluded with one final scribble of the pen when Joel Embiid signed a three-year, $192.9 million max contract extension last week.

Overall, Embiid has earned roughly $215 million in his career thus far per HoopsHype. That money has equated to about $437,598 per game which is ranked second in NBA history all-time behind only former teammate and current Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons.
