Overview
- Local reporters posted photos from Thursday’s shootaround showing Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson with freshly shaved heads.
- Johnson recounted that Wembanyama suggested, “let’s bald our heads,” and the teammates took turns cutting each other’s hair.
- They obtained clippers from a coach and finished the cuts in a van after landing back in San Antonio, according to Johnson’s on-record explanation.
- Johnson said Wembanyama buzzed his head in about three minutes and described the process as lighthearted and voluntary.
- The look recalls Wembanyama’s offseason Shaolin retreat when he also shaved his head, and it comes as the 27–13 Spurs host the Bucks on Thursday.
