Should Joel Embiid be playing in the Olympics

As the NBA season nears to the end, the Olympics is the next destination for some players. The question is: should Joel Embiid be playing? He was out half the season with a meniscus injury. He was playing on one leg in the playoff loss to the New York Knicks. I believe he should be playing in the Olympics and here is why, some players can better by playing with other stars because they learn new skills from each other. For example. Anthony Edwards. Hopefully that will happen to Joel Embiid too. It is only for a few weeks, so getting very hurt is unlikely. Also, the team is loaded with stars which means Joel Embiid will not have to play the hole game. Which he has to do for the Sixers. To sum this up, Joel Embiid should be playing for team USA because the reward could be greater than the risk.
