She missed most of the following season due to pregnancy.[3]

In January 2015, she helped Keflavík to the Cup finals, but was unable to prevent a loss to Grindavík.[4] In February 2015, Embla received a two-game suspension from the Icelandic Basketball Federation disciplinary court for kicking Gunnhildur Gunnarsdóttir.[5][6] She helped Keflavík to the Úrvalsdeild finals where they lost 0-3 to Snæfell.[7] For the season, Embla averaged 8.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

In August 2015, she signed a two-year contract with Grindavík.[8] In 2016, she helped Grindavík take a 2-1 lead against Haukar in the semi-finals of the Úrvalsdeild kvenna playoffs.[9] Haukar won the next two games and advanced to the finals.[10] The next season, Embla was unable to prevent Grindavík from being relegated but agreed to play with the team during the 2017-2018 Division I season.[11]

Unhappy with new coach Angela Rodriguez, Embla left Grindavík in December 2017,[12] after averaging 21.3 points, 12.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists, and returned to Keflavík.[13][14] On January 13, 2018, she won the Icelandic Cup with Keflavík after defeating Njarðvík in the Cup finals, 74-63.[15] She led all Keflavík players in scoring with 20 points.[16]

In November 2022, Embla signed with Valur.[21][22][23] On 28 April 2023, she won her first Icelandic championship after Valur defeated top-seeded Keflavík in the Úrvalsdeild finals, 3–1. In the championship clinching game, she scored the go-ahead basket with a three point shot with 26 seconds left in the game.[24][25][26]

In an interview with RÚV in January 2018, she stated that she would no longer play for the national team if the Icelandic Basketball Federation would continue to select players convicted of sexual crimes to their national team programs.[29]

In November 2018, Embla was selected to the team ahead of its games against Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EuroBasket Women 2019 qualification.[30]

Personal life

When Embla was 13 years old, she was raped by a 20 year old member of the Icelandic national track and field team.[31] The man was convicted of the crime but received a suspended sentence.[32] Her story was featured in RÚV coverage of the Me Too movement in Iceland in January 2018.[33]

From 2016 to 2017, Embla struggled with Bulimia. She was ultimately helped by coach Helgi Jónas Guðfinnsson to return to health.[34]
