Author of a most contrasting Olympic tournament, Joel Embiid finished it in apotheosis with Team USA.

Winner of the gold medal at the expense of the French team, he could however have committed a nasty action on Victor Wembanyama in the final.

And to think that just a few months ago, his knee almost prevented him from setting foot on a parquet floor.

Joel Embiid can nevertheless be happy not to have taken advantage of the summer to rest his joint.

After all, it allowed him to become Olympic champion with Team USA.

A nice revenge after having been booed throughout the tournament by the French public, whom he made sure to taunt once the gold was around his neck.

Did Joel Embiid try to hurt Wembanyama? The accusatory video

Author of 4 small points during the final against the French team, Embiid nevertheless found himself in several viral sequences during the match.

Because while the one involving him and Rudy Gobert has already generated many reactions, another involving Victor Wembanyama is now also making people talk.

This, after the Reddit user HaikuPoetics2 shared the following images and accuses him:

After slowing down the video and zooming in, I think that Embiid is looking at Wemby’s foot before looking away and stepping right on the back of his ankle, as if he wanted to pass it off as nonchalance.

For this Internet user, there is therefore no doubt that Embiid deliberately tried to hurt Wemby.

A theory that has convinced some Internet users, while others apparently refuse to adhere to it:

It looks intentional, and it most certainly is intentional given his past.

More than ten days after the final of the Paris Olympic Games, Joel Embiid finds himself the target of serious accusations on the web.

However, it is impossible to be sure that he really tried to injure Victor Wembanyama in this sequence that went unnoticed.
