Scoot Henderson, the projected No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been shut by G League for the rest of the season, Jonathan Givony from ESPN reports.

According to the report, Ignite is unlikely to make the playoffs, and the G League feels 19-year-old Henderson has shown enough this season.

There are five games remaining in Ignite's season. Henderson did not play in their last game against the Texas Legends.

He played 25 of a possible 50 games for Ignite this season as part of the G League competition, including the Showcase Cup leading into the G League Winter Showcase in December.

Henderson missed significant time with a nasal fracture and two separate concussions, as well as an ankle injury he suffered in late January.

Henderson averaged 16.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game in 19 G League contests.

NBA Draft 2023 will take place on June 22nd.
