76ers star Joel Embiid honors his late brother at a Philly block party

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid could go back to school and write a pretty heady report on how he spent his summer vacation.

Embiid won Olympic gold for Team USA. He signed a contract extension with the Philadelphia 76ers that will pay him more than $64 million in its final season. Embiid spoke during the U.N. General Assembly week about African innovation. Already parents to a young son, Embiid and his wife are expecting a daughter.

Oh, and his lobbying efforts for the Sixers to sign All-Star free agent Paul George paid off with perhaps the most significant acquisition in Embiid’s 10 seasons with the franchise.

Not a bad offseason.
