HENDERSON, Nev., Dec. 27, 2022 – NBA G League Ignite (1-0) opened the Regular Season with a win against the Ontario Clippers (0-1), 114-108, on Tuesday night at The Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nev.



Scoot Henderson made his long-awaited return after being sidelined for the previous 11 games due to a concussion and nasal fracture. Henderson led the way for Ignite after a slow start in the first half, where he only scored three points and saw nine minutes of action due to foul trouble. Henderson finished with 20 points, five assists and four rebounds, including a huge floater to send the game to overtime.



Cameron Young scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half to keep Ignite afloat heading into halftime, while Sidy Cissoko recorded 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. Eric Mika and John Jenkins tallied 13 points apiece.



The Clippers were led by Moussa Diabate, who notched a double-double, with a game-high 23 points and 10 rebounds. Xavier Moon added 22 points and four assists on 7-of-10 shots from the field, including 3-of-3 from the three-point line. Malik Fitts and Jason Preston each contributed 19 points apiece.



Ignite got an early lead in the first quarter after scoring 11 straight points to take a 10-point lead late in the opening period. Ignite dug in on the defensive end in the second quarter to force a total of eight turnovers, which resulted in 17 points en route to a 10-point lead at halftime.



The Clippers battled back in the third quarter to cut its deficit to one-point by the end of the period behind Moussa Diabate, of the Clippers, who tallied 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the field in that span. In a back-and-forth fourth quarter that saw 11 lead changes, Ignite gained some moment after a massive block by London Johnson, which led to a layup on the other end with a little over eight minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Facing defeat with six seconds remaining in regulation, Sidy Cissoko forced a turnover on an in-bounds play from the Clippers, which led to Scoot Henderson draining a last-second shot to send the game to overtime.



Tied, 106-106, with a target score of 113, Ignite scored six consecutive points to begin overtime. Cameron Young put the finishing touches after knocking down a tough layup to seal the victory.
