He'll return to the place he called home to make his Summer League debut, looking to prove why he should have been the No. 2 pick behind generational talent Victor Wembanyama.
Henderson's Summer League schedule is packed with marquee matchups you won't want to miss, and The Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to know to tune in below.
