A long soap opera will soon reach its conclusion. During a media day organized this Monday by his Philadelphia Sixers franchise, Joël Embiid reiterated his wish to play in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games next summer. Born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and having obtained French and American citizenship in 2022, the latest MVP of the NBA regular season is spoiled for choice.
“I will probably make my decision in the next few days”
“Cameroon, I was born there. I have always wanted to represent my country, but my goal is also to play. If Cameroon had qualified, the choice would have been easier. But it’s still uncertain and I really want to play the Games. The USA has had difficulties in recent years and you also have France. It’s a hard choice to make. I will probably make my decision in the next few days. We’ll see,” said the Sixers pivot.
While the Federation will hold a press conference on October 10 to take stock of this summer’s men’s and women’s campaigns and look ahead to the Olympic tournament, Jean-Pierre Siutat, president of the FFBB, announced in Stephen Time , Stephen Brun’s show on RMC, that he expected a firm response before the press conference.
