San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama said he was going to disappear from the spotlight for a bit and now, he looks very different.
Wembanyama, who was shut down after two games during NBA 2K24 Summer League, was incredibly busy for the days and weeks that were both leading up to and following the 2023 NBA Draft.
He led his team to the championship in France and then became one of the most popular subjects in the sports world when he became the No. 1 overall pick. The least he could do was take some time to regroup and collect himself and his thoughts.

But now that he is back as the Spurs prepare for their training camp, which begins next month, he has returned with an entirely different aesthetic.
Wembanyama, like his teammate Jeremy Sochan, now has a colorful dyed haircut. Take a look:

Wembanyama and Sochan certainly now have the most colorful hair of any frontcourt combination in the NBA, if that is worth anything.
But these two players are not the first defensive-oriented San Antonio forwards to dye their hair and play for the Spurs. That title, of course, belongs to the legendary Dennis Rodman.
