Erin WalshOct 6, 2022

Two of the world's top NBA prospects in Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson squared off in Las Vegas on Thursday for what could have been the final time before they meet in the NBA during the 2023-24 season.

Wembanyama, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, suited up for France's Metropolitans 92, while Henderson, who could very well be the No. 2 pick in the draft, took the floor for the G League Ignite in a matchup that was aired on the new NBA app.

The Metropolitans 92 defeated the G League Ignite 112-106.

With the Metropolitans 92 and G League Ignite showcase now over, NBA fans will be anxiously awaiting the 2023 NBA draft to see which team selects Wembanyama and potentially changes its future.
