Overview
- After the loss in Oklahoma City, Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson shaved each other's heads, obtaining clippers from a coach and buzzing in a van, according to Johnson.
- Wembanyama debuted the bald look at shootaround, then briefly exited after a knee-to-knee collision with Giannis Antetokounmpo before returning to start the second quarter.
- He finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 119-101 win over Milwaukee, with multiple reports noting he hit five of six from three.
- The haircut echoes his offseason stint at the Shaolin Temple in China, where he previously shaved his head during a much-discussed training retreat.
- He recorded two blocks in the victory, and ClutchPoints reported he reached 500 career blocks in 143 games, the fourth-fastest mark since 1973-74.
