This offseason, Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid gained both French and U.S. citizenship, making him eligible to also join Team France or Team USA on the international hoops circuit, whereas his native Cameroon has always been an option. Although, he’s never suited up for the Cameroonian national team to this point.
Recently, Rudy Gobert, the most high-profile member of Team France who helped lead his country to runner-up Olympic and EuroBasket finishes the past two years, spoke with The Athletic’s Joe Vardon about Embiid’s possible arrival.
“It has to come from him,” Gobert said.
