At the Sixers Media Day, Joel Embiid admitted that he plans to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. If the pivot has still not decided on the selection he will represent, the decision should come in the coming days.
FINALLY the outcome of the Joel Embiid soap opera? For months now, the Sixers star has not seemed to be able to decide on his international future. Holder of a French but also an American passport, Jojo can therefore play for three different nations if we add his native country, Cameroon.
Whether it was Grant Hill for Team USA or Boris Diaw for France, the declarations have followed one another in recent months but the main person concerned was careful not to give his preference. The time for the decision has (almost) finally come since the FFBB has given Embiid until October 10 to make his choice.
Present at the Sixers Media Day, the 2023 MVP confirmed that he intended to participate in the 2024 Olympics. But with which jersey on his shoulders? Mystery, even if the man does not hide a preference for his native country, he seems not to have completely made his choice yet.
“My goal is to participate in the Olympic Games. I like the options that are in front of me. If Cameroon had qualified the decision would have been easy, but everything still remains to be decided. »Joel Embiid

Still a big week (max) to wait to find out the end of the story. France and Team USA are already guaranteed to participate in the Olympic competition next year. For Cameroon, everything remains to be done because the indomitable lions still have to go through the Olympic qualifying tournament which will take place in the coming months. Seeing Joel Embiid play FIBA basketball has never been closer, but the question remains who will benefit.
