Portland Trail Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson showcased his talent during the first game of the NBA's Rising Stars event on Friday night. Despite leading Team Tamika with 10 points, Henderson's performance was not enough as Team Tamika fell to Team Jalen with a score of 40-35 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Henderson shot 4 of 6 from the field and hit 1 of 2 three-point attempts in his 11 minutes and 22 seconds on the court, adding one assist to his stat line.

Team Jalen secured the victory with a strong showing by Indiana Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin, who scored 18 points including the game-winning jumper in the matchup played to 40 points. The game also saw Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe on the Team Jalen roster, although he did not play due to his recent abdominal surgery.

Former WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings coached Team Tamika, while former NBA star Jalen Rose led Team Jalen to the victory. Team Jalen advanced to the finals to face the winner between Team Detlef and Team Pau, with the event providing an exciting platform for rising talents in the NBA.
