Victor Wembanyama scored 37, Scoot Henderson answered with 29 as the two top NBA prospects battled against each other for the first time.
The top two NBA prospects - Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson - battled against each other in one of the most anticipated matchups recently. Henderson's G-League Ignite took the win 122-115 (30-24, 41-28, 20-36, 31-27) against the French center's Metropolitans 92 but team stats were put to the background.
All eyes were on the two top talents who delivered what the fans hoped and more. Wembanyama finished the match with 37 points, making 7 three-pointers out of 11, 4 rebounds, and 5 blocks in his account.
Henderson, meanwhile, had 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Numerous NBA players attended the match, including Trevor Ariza, Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Damion Lee, and Duane Washington Jr. WNBA MVP A'Ja Wilson was also at the courtside.
The two talents will meet again on Thursday in a rematch of the two teams.
