Wembanyama and Henderson shine in first exhibition matchup

These two 18-year-old prospects put on a show after French club Metropolitans 92 and G League Ignite agreed to play a pair of exhibition games. People hoped for a show and they got it as it was a very entertaining game between the projected number one and number two draft picks.

Victor Wembanyama balled out with 37 points off of 11-of-20 from the field, including 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. Even more impressive than that was him blocking five shots that showed off of his skill and supernatural wingspan.

Scoot Henderson, who showed off his driving abilities and good-looking jump shot, also balled out with 28 points. He went 11-of-21 from the field to guide his team, the Ignite, to a victory.

The final score was 122-115. A very competitive game between the top two prospects of the 2023 NBA Draft.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
