Although Paolo Banchero did not respond with a definite “bet,” Mathurin failed to fulfill his wager by missing the free throw. As a result, he lost the $25,000 he had put on the line. The winning team of the Rising Stars Challenge received $25,000, which gave Mathurin the confidence to make the bet. Despite the court microphone capturing the bet, there was no response from Paolo Banchero regarding his stance on the wager.
