Although he has yet to make his debut for the Belgian national team, he could have the opportunity to represent Belgium this summer after the team officially secured a spot in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025.
Camara’s only previous experience wearing the national team’s colors consists of participating in Division B of the 2016 FIBA U16 European Championship, where he averaged 2.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game as a young athlete.
He was selected 52nd overall in the 2023 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, following a collegiate career from 2019 to 2023 with the Georgia Bulldogs and Dayton Flyers. Shortly thereafter, he was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the deal involving Jusuf Nurkic and DeAndre Ayton.
