Embiid averaged 11.2 points and 3.8 rebounds during Team USA’s march to the gold medal. His best performance came in a semifinal matchup against a Serbia team led by reigning three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic when he scored 19 points to help lead Team USA to a comeback victory.
The 30-year-old will now turn his attention to leading the Philadelphia 76ers to title contention this year.
It can be expected that Embiid will be donning his new signature shoes from Skechers when the 2024-25 season begins this fall.
