Rookie Portland point guard Scoot Henderson, the third pick in the 2023 draft out of the G League Ignite, and second-year Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 6 pick in the 2022 draft out of Duke, were both been earmarked partake in tonight's festivities. Young players from the NBA and the G League have been divided into four different teams, coached by former NBA players Pau Gasol, Jalen Rose and Detlef Shrempf, plus former WNBA Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings.

Henderson will be playing on Team Tamika, along side Orlando Magic All-Star power forward Paolo Banchero, Detroit Pistons second-year players Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, Sacramenton Kings power forward Keegan Murray, Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George, and Memphis Grizzlies second-year guard Vince Williams Jr.

Sharpe, meanwhile, had been slated to suit up for Team Jalen, but due to his core muscle surgery, he's been replaced by San Antonio Spurs forward/guard Jeremy Sochan. Sharpe is set to be reassessed in five weeks.
