A few days ago, the rumor sending Joel Embiid to the France team had turned the basketball community in France, and in particular made Evan Fournier react. The latter has indirectly reopened the file in recent hours via a message… for the Spanish rivals!
A simple report on administrative procedures initiated by the Cameroonian pivot will have sufficed to set an entire country on fire. Joel Embiid would have started the process to obtain French naturalization, and thus be able to evolve in the France team. A news that had the effect of a bomb in France, but also across the Atlantic. Even Evan Fournier did not remain unmoved, and spoke on the subject again recently.
Fournier ready to welcome Embiid to EDF? The ambiguous tweet
A few years ago, the Knicks fullback gave his thoughts on the naturalization issue, making it clear that he was rather opposed to the arrival of Embiid at the Blues. Since then, he has remained more evasive on the subject, until a tweet posted this Sunday evening. Surprised by information concerning… the Spanish selection, he reacted to it with a gif that has not gone unnoticed in recent hours!

Luca D’Alessandro: The Spanish Basketball Federation is working on the naturalization of Lorenzo Brown so that he can compete in Eurobasket with the Spanish selection from September 1 in Georgia. Nevertheless, it won’t be easy to get it in time according to AS’s Juan Jimenez Salvado.
Evan Fournier : Really ? Want to play this?
Candidate for the title of MVP of the EuroLeague this season, Lorenzo Brown does not have a priori any link with Spain, he who has not even evolved in La Liga in his career. However, due to a lack of depth in the lead, La Roja would therefore seek to enlist him for the Euro. A choice that seems to annoy Fournier… and likely to push him to review his position on Embiid? Internet users have in any case invited him, ironically even slipping other names!
Really hate the Spaniards
Ptdrrr we will activate the Embiid button they will understand nothing
Hey RJ Barrett speaks French, you know what you have to do…
Good Kevin Durant he said “very small”, suddenly we can naturalize him French right?
Customary of the fact, the Spanish federation would therefore seek to obtain a new naturalization, which obviously goes wrong with Evan Fournier. It should not be surprising if the tricolor scorer validates the arrival of Joel Embiid at the Blues after that!
