Former teammates Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid top the list of highest-paid players per game in NBA history, according to HoopsHype’s research (minimum 15 games played). Both fit a common trend among the leaders in our ranking: star players who signed massive contracts but couldn’t fully meet expectations due to injuries.
This pattern runs throughout the list, with several big names cashing in despite limited availability. In total, 19 players have earned at least $300,000 per contest over their careers.
