Jayson Tatum Going Viral For Brand-New Hairstyle
By Chris Phelps,
2024-07-08Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum missed the first few days of Team USA's training camp due to personal reasons. During this hiatus, the NBA champion signed a five-year, $313-million contract, the largest in league history.
Tatum helped lead the Celtics to the best record in the 2023-24 regular season. The Celtics continued their success into the postseason, going 16-3 on their way to their 18th NBA title, a league record. This helped Tatum earn his new contract.
When arriving in Las Vegas for training camp, Tatum was seen sporting a new look. He decided to get a new haircut, trimming off a good portion of his hair and getting rid of his curls. The new cut looks very similar to the one he had when he was a rookie in 2017-18. The main difference is the beard.
