... that Cameroonian-born Joel Embiid opted to play for the U.S. Olympic basketball team instead of France in part because his son is American?

Source: "Embiid, who was born in Cameroon ..." (ESPN) "Embiid had options on which team to play for this summer. He could have played for France, and even his native Cameroon — which still has a chance to qualify for the 12-team field. But in October, he chose to play for the U.S., in part because his son is American." (The Journal)
