Victor Wembanyama Debuts Shaved Haircut in New Photo Ahead of Giannis, Bucks Matchup

Perhaps looking to provide a spark to the San Antonio Spurs after losing six of their last 10 games, Victor Wembanyama changed up his appearance.

The Spurs superstar showed off his freshly shaved bald head prior to Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

This isn't the first time that Wembanyama has opted to go with a bald look. He shaved his head during the offseason while on a retreat at the Shaolin Temple where he dined with monks.

Wembanyama later explained his retreat was designed to put "my body through things that it's not used to doing and allowing my range of movement and strength."

The first time Wembanyama played after shaving his head, he averaged 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game in 12 games to start the season before a calf strain kept him out for four weeks.

In 14 games since returning from the calf injury, Wembanyama's numbers have dipped a little bit. He is only averaging 22.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. His playing time has also been carefully managed during this stretch, so it's not like there is any real reason to be alarmed.

Even with the recent struggles, the Spurs still sit in third place in the Western Conference with a 27-13 record. They will look to end their two-game losing skid when they host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET.
