Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has sparked speculation about his future international basketball allegiance, hinting at a potential switch from Team USA to the Cameroon national team. In a recent interview, Embiid reflected on his Olympic experience and left open the possibility of representing his country of origin.
As Tweeted by NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral), Embiid stated,
“It’s been a good experience. It’s been a grind, being away from home and family for a few weeks. But the group of guys we have made it easy. Paris is a great city and the next one is LA. It might not be with Team USA, it might be with Cameroon.”
