French 7’3” NBA star Victor Wembanyama may have just unlocked a new position: Shaolin monk.

Wembanyama, who ended last season early due to a rare blood clot in his right shoulder appeared to be looking for some off-season spiritual peace and strength at a Shaolin Temple in central China.

A widely circulated image showed the San Antonio Spurs center with a freshly shaven head, sitting pensively in front of small Budda statues inside a room typically used by abbots to receive guests.

Chinese state media reports confirmed on Monday that he was indeed at the temple.
