The soap opera never ends. For many months, Joel Embiid has maintained the mystery about the nation he will represent in the future, he who absolutely wishes to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Born in Yaoundé (Cameroon), the pivot of the Philadelphia Sixers also obtained French and American nationalities in 2022.
On the occasion of the Media Day organized by his franchise on Monday, the MVP of the last NBA regular season was again questioned on this subject. What to remember?

Cameroon still has to play an Olympic pre-qualifying tournament in 2024, but Embiid will obviously have to make his decision much sooner. “It’s a hard choice to make. I’ll probably make my decision in the coming days. We’ll see,” he explained. Slowly but surely…
