The Philadelphia 76ers boast a rich history. Since arriving in the City of Brotherly Love in 1963 to replace the departed Warriors, the Sixers have made 36 playoff appearances, reached the NBA Finals six times and won two NBA championships.
Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, Elton Brand, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris are a few of the franchise’s most notable players in recent decades, and it’s compelling to look back at the Sixers’ year-by-year salary history to see how those players were valued financially in their prime.
Below, we identify the highest-paid player on the Sixers roster for each season since 1990-91. Also included are team payroll figures and where those totals ranked among other NBA teams.
