Victor Wembanyama, Keldon Johnson Shave Heads Following OKC Defeat
In a surprising twist after their match against the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs players Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson showcased brand-new hairstyles—both went bald. This change followed a 119-98 defeat on Tuesday, creating a buzz not just about their performance, but also about their unconventional look.
Initiation of the Bald Look
The decision to shave their heads was primarily driven by Johnson. One week prior, he had shaved the heads of several friends. Inspired by this experience, Johnson shared his intent in the Spurs’ group chat, stating his plan to go bald. “And nobody believed me,” he remarked.
Wembanyama’s Support
After the loss to the Thunder, Wembanyama endorsed Johnson’s idea, suggesting he would go bald as well. This encouragement fueled their hair-shaving adventure, which took place shortly after they arrived in San Antonio.
Buzzing Heads in a Van
Upon landing, they acquired clippers from a coach and decided to shave their heads in a van. Initially, the Spurs staff suggested that Johnson go first. However, he hesitated, fearing he might be the only one to shave his head.
Eventually, Wembanyama took the plunge first, buzzing his hair. Johnson followed suit, helping to shave Wembanyama’s head, and in turn, Wembanyama finished the job for Johnson. “It has been fun and games,” Johnson said. “I’m trying to get everybody I can to go bald.”
Anticipation for the Next Game
The duo now awaits their upcoming matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. If they deliver impressive performances, it might encourage their teammates to embrace the bald look as well.
