Victor Wembanyama Makes Major Change to Personal Appearance During NBA Offseason

Victor Wembanyama has a new look heading into his second NBA season.

On Thursday evening, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year shared a new post on Instagram — highlighting his time away from basketball this offseason.

Wembanyama has seemingly shifted away from the hairstyle he wore just a couple weeks prior at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The San Antonio Spurs' French superstar is now rocking braids.

Fans are taking note of Wemby's new hairstyle on social media.

Wembanyama lived up to his billing as a generational talent in Year 1. The No. 1 overall pick averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game en route to his ROY award.

Wemby carried that momentum into the 2024 Paris Olympics, leading his host-country team to the gold medal game against the United States. While his French team couldn't take down the Americans, he helped lead his country to a silver medal.

Wembanyama and the Spurs will tipoff their 2024-25 regular season with a primetime matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on October 24.
