French fans booed Joel Embiid at the U.S. men's Olympic opener against Serbia, likely due to his decision not to play for France despite being granted French citizenship in 2022.
Embiid's choice not to join France's team with other NBA stars like Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert, opting for the U.S. or Cameroon, left French supporters disenchanted.
Despite having reasons like his son's birth in the U.S., Joel Embiid never clarified why he picked the U.S. over France, intensifying the French fans' disapproval.
