Joel Embiid's choice to represent USA over Cameroon leaves African nation disappointed

Posted : 10 October 2023
Joel Embiid's decision to represent the USA instead of his native Cameroon has caused frustration within the African nation, according to an undisclosed source at the country's basketball governing body.
 
Embiid, the current NBA Most Valuable Player, announced on the social media platform X that he will compete for the United States in the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
 
Cameroon had hoped that the Philadelphia 76ers star would choose to play for his country of birth. France also expressed interest since the 29-year-old center obtained citizenship there last year.
 
"It's frustrating because many people believed he would opt for Cameroon," explained an unnamed source at the Cameroon Basketball Federation (Fecabasket) when speaking to BBC Sport Africa. "Embiid's decision was his to make, and the reaction from Cameroonians, who feel frustrated, is understandable."
