Trail Blazers’ Ja Morant Debuts Short Haircut

Ja Morant unveiled a dramatically shorter hairstyle after cutting off the signature locs that had been part of his look for years, sharing photos of the transformation on Instagram. The Portland Trail Blazers guard offered no explanation for the change, which drew widespread attention from fans and fellow players. The makeover comes as Morant adjusts to a new team following his offseason trade from Memphis and recovers from a Grade 2 hamstring strain expected to sideline him for at least four weeks.
