NBA Tells Jalen Suggs to Start Games With Headband on His Head

The ruling echoes prior NBA limits on accessories, from double headbands to Supreme-branded sleeves.

Overview

  • The directive surfaced on an Orlando team broadcast clip shared by The Magic Way and was subsequently reported by Yahoo Sports.
  • League officials told the Magic guard the headband must be on his head to begin games rather than worn as a choker.
  • Suggs had been keeping the band around his neck only for the opening minutes before moving it to his forehead.
  • He has described the neck look as “football drip” rooted in his high-school quarterback background.
  • Coverage places the move in the context of longstanding uniform enforcement, including bans on double headbands, ninja-style bands, and branded gear.
