SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama continues his world tour, and this time, he made a stop in China to visit a Shaolin monk temple, taking it one step further.
He shaved his head!

Before he met with the monks, he was given a hero’s welcome, during which he visited the Beijing Ducks basketball club’s gym and was surrounded by children after finishing his workout.
So far this offseason, Wemby has made a stop in Costa Rica and toured the Great Wall of China.
