Joel Embiid has signed a 5yr. $148M extension with the 76ers. In three years he has played 31 GAMES, all of those coming last season. He is a supreme talent, but he has had repeated, some may say, chronic back, and foot issues. Not good for someone that is 7" tall.
Apparently the actual contract is something like 30 pages long, and as the article points out, there are opt outs for the team, if specific injuries occur. But for all of the complaining that some hockey fans do about young superstars getting big contracts, this one takes the cake. No question.
