[Olinger] “I’m a pro international team guy. The experience for [Joel] is gonna be great. The competition is the biggest thing. Those guys who pull on those jerseys for those countries, they play w/ everything they got.” Nick Nurse on Joel Embiid playing for Team USA this summer:
(Continued) Nurse also said here how he thinks it’s good for Joel to play this summer as he’s coming back from his injury, will help him stay in shape and in good practice
Yes, we’re all worried he could get injured.. it’s still good for him to see LeBron’s routine for health and conditioning, among others.
Medal games will be a great way for him to get some different high pressure situation experience.
Go for Gold Joel

On top of the things he said, I think it’s great for him to get more experience with staying involved when not the focal point of the offense and playing through a tougher whistle

I like the idea of Embiid staying in shape over the off-season as well. I think it’ll be better for his endurance in the coming season.
