To go fully bald or not to: this is the question every man grapples with at least once in his life. No man ever has any control over their genetics, except for, perhaps, the one percent within the one percent who are uber rich and are into genetic modification. But there are times where it's simply hard to accept that male pattern baldness comes for most, if not all, men — including Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs.
What's tough about Suggs' predicament is that he is just 24 years of age. At that young of an age, he should, at least in theory, still have a head full of hair. But Suggs never really had good hair genes to begin with. And now, it looks like he's fully embracing the bald life.
On Sunday night, prior to the Magic's 106-92 loss to the Detroit Pistons at home, Suggs, at long last, went the Derrick White and Alex Caruso route and shaved his head clean — refusing to fall prey to denial any further.

The good news is that Suggs is only young and he's a multimillionaire, so he could theoretically undergo hair transplant if he truly wanted to. But shaving his head cleanly seems to be a sign of him leaning fully into the bald life.
