Spurs make dramatic cuts after loss to Thunder

Victor Wembanyama also shaved his head last summer

Wembanyama's dramatic styling choice may have come out of a desire to get back in the spirit of his international summer of training, during which he spent 10 days in China visiting the Great Wall and doing martial arts training. As part of the experience, he also shaved his head.

Notably, the head shaving happened after a loss to the Thunder, who feature Wemby's longtime rival, Chet Holmgren. Perhaps after winning his first three matchups with Holmgren this season, Wembanyama wanted to make sure his new hair follicles were undefeated against the Thunder big man.

Johnson has been a lone bright spot when it comes to shooting recently, making 46.2 percent of his three-pointers, though not matching Vassell's volume. It does show he truly is a do-anything team player off the bench, willing to score, defend, rebound or shave his head in solidarity. Johnson shaved Wemby's head himself, and the third-year All-Star returned the favor, though both could stand to do more assisting on the court (Wemby averages three assists, Johnson only 1.2).

In fact, perhaps the slumping Harrison Barnes and De'Aaron Fox could consider going bald themselves after shooting 21.2 percent and 17.4 percent from deep, respectively, during the Spurs' slump. Being more aerodynamic could help the offense be more, well, dynamic.

It looks like Wembanyama is getting serious about his team's losing. It has been dropping games by razor-thin margins. He broke out the razor to shake things up.
