Joel Embiid will he participate in the next international meetings? And if so, in what jersey? These questions occupy the minds of a pack of observers, on the French and American side. Since the Cameroonian pivot was naturalized in the two countries this summer, Team USA and the French team would very much like to be able to offer his services, for the Paris Olympics in particular.
But the interested party does not have the head with that. Publicly at least. When Marc Stein slipped in the 76ers locker room to ask him the question, his answer was crystal clear: “ I don’t want to talk about international issues. »
Why such a reluctance to mention it, when Rudy Gobert recently reminded him, indirectly, of the collective rules in force at the Blues? ” Because it’s NBA season. I am focused on the fact that we improve collectively, and me as a player. I’m focused on getting to the playoffs and doing something there. I’ll worry about the rest later. »
In other words, it is ” for the moment “that the pivot does not want to raise the subject, insofar as” it’s about trying to do everything possible to win a title “.
A position that fits perfectly since the 76ers started this season with their trio Joel Embiid – James Harden – Tyrese Maxey, reinforced by some quality signings, in the hope of going all the way. Even if, for the moment too, the team is having a lot of trouble fueling because of everyone’s injuries.
Philadelphia has thus only just re-tilted in the positive this night, winning against the Lakers.
