The most valuable basketball player of the regular season in the NBA, Joel Embiid, could play at the Olympic Games in Paris.
But not in the jersey of France, as was expected recently, but as an American representative.
The Philadelphia center was born in Cameroon and holds French and American citizenship.
"To the question about Embiid, I will answer simply: "Yes, I talked to him". He has an option and he is a great player. We will talk next summer, we will see what happens," said the director of the American selection, Grant Hill.
Embiid's decision is also waiting for the French, coach Vincent Colle said recently.
The ace of the Sixers had a performance of 33,1 points, 10,2 rebounds and 4,2 assists per game last season.
