Joel Embiid's choice to represent the United States at international level continues to be the talk of the town. In France, it's still not going over well. The French Basketball Federation (FFBB) president Jean-Pierre Siutat's comments on the Philadelphia pivot are a case in point."Team USA?With Embiid? Who can beat them? Seriously, no one. It's an easy way for him to win a gold medal," said the French basketball boss on The Athletic.
Joel Embiid is recovering from a meniscus injury that has kept him out of action for almost two months. The 2023 MVP hopes to return before the end of the season and take part in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
