San Antonio Spurs and NBA fans in general have been concerned about the status of burgeoning superstar Victor Wembanyama for months, ever since he bowed out early during the 2025 season due to deep vein thrombosis, which was a troubling diagnosis for one of the league’s brightest stars.
Fans would be happy to know that Wemby has resurfaced this week and has had a drastic change in appearance.
Bleacher Report shared a few photos on X of Wemby spending some time this offseason at a Shaolin Temple, and he is looking quite peaceful and sporting a freshly-shaven head.

Wembanyama becoming a monk would be bad news for the rest of the league, as he is already a stoic assassin capable of dismantling teams on both ends of the court with an impressively calm demeanor.
The NBA season is as grueling as it ever has been given the pace of play, not to mention the fact that Wemby had an incredible run through the Olympics prior to this season, so it’s nice to see him enjoying some rest and relaxation ahead of his third year in the NBA.
His Spurs are in a position to make some big improvements this offseason, as they have the second pick in the draft and plenty of room to make a big splash or two in free agency or in the trade market.
Regardless of what they do, nothing matters if Wemby isn’t healthy, and he looks to be doing just fine as he gets ready to make a big comeback next season.
