The Orlando Magic defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-92 on Saturday, with the team led by key players Desmond Benn, Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. Judging by the latter, the Magic star at Suggs is sporting a new bald look that will catch Banchero's attention.
Subsequently, speaking after the win over the Timberwolves in front of the Amazon Prime crew, Banchero was asked about Suggs' new look, saying that it "fits him" and that he was "excited" to see the memories made with it.
"Hey man, I told him he looks about five years younger with the fresh cut. You know, I think it fits him. Man, you can tell he's happy, you know, he was happy to be back home today, get a win here in his hometown. I'm excited to make a lot of memories with his bald head," Banchero said after recording 25 points and 15 rebounds on Saturday.

It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will maintain this look, but it can't be denied that he feels good with it as he talked about it last Tuesday, saying that it was inspired by teammate Jevon Carter.
"Good vet. I think the way he works every day is top notch. He's definitely one of the hardest workers I've ever been around. I cut hair in the light of Jevon. I'm trying to follow in his footsteps with the bald," Suggs said, according to Jason Beede.
Suggs added, "I love bald people." "But yeah, new change, new evolution. It's like when Aang cut his hair in Season 3 [referencing the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender”]. “That’s how I feel.”
#magical Guard Jalen Suggs said he cut his hair because of Javon Carter.
"I'm trying to follow in his footsteps with the bald guy," Suggs said. "... My favorite thing about (him) is that he has held me accountable on multiple occasions."
