NBA Fans React to Victor Wembanyama’s New Hair Color

Victor Wembanyama has been a member of the Spurs for less than two months, but the No. 1 overall pick already is bonding with his new teammates. San Antonio forward Jeremy Sochan, who is known for colorfully dying his hair, shared a video on social media of Wembanyama adopting one of his hairstyles.

In the video, Sochan reveals that Wembanyama dyed his hair white with a large purple spot, a long way away from his naturally black hair. The style is one of many that Sochan has sported on and off the court since playing college basketball at Baylor.

The reveal got strong reactions on social media, as fans had a lot to say about Sochan’s convincing Wembanyama to try out a new wild hairstyle.

Sochan started 53 games in San Antonio’s frontcourt last season, so he and Wembanyama are likely to spend a lot of time together on the court. It’s good that the two are already bonding off the court, even if it includes strange hair colors.
