He notably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DLSz_EtthsN\/?img_index=2\">got a similar haircut<\/a> while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/45486750\/victor-wembanyama-midst-stay-shaolin-temple-china\">visiting a Shaolin temple<\/a> in Zhengzhou, China, during the 2025 offseason.<\/p>\n<p>However, this time it was Johnson&#8217;s idea to bring out the clippers. He explained on Thursday that a week ago, he shaved all of his friends&#8217; heads. It prompted Johnson to text in the Spurs&#8217; group chat that he was going to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And nobody believed me,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Wembanyama told Johnson after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/game\/_\/gameId\/401810423\/spurs-thunder\">119-98<\/a> loss to the Thunder on Tuesday that he&#8217;d go bald, offering Johnson another reason to do so. After landing in San Antonio the next day, they got clippers from a coach and proceeded to buzz their hair in a van. The team told Johnson to go first, but he feared that no one else would go through with it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTi35XwEf61\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\" \/>\n<p>&#8220;I was like &#8216;I don&#8217;t know if I want to go first&#8217; because then somebody will be like nah after I already bald my head,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;So then Vic went and shaved his head a little bit and then he cut my hair, cut all mines off.
