On October 28, 2026, the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Washington Wizards at Rocket Arena for an early-season matchup that featured a dramatic Cleveland comeback and the highly anticipated NBA debut of No. 1 overall draft pick AJ Dybantsa.
This official game-used basketball net hung on the visiting bench rim, where Dybantsa scored the first regular-season points of his NBA career.
After missing Washington's first four games with an ankle injury, the 19-year-old rookie made an immediate impression, scoring his first basket on an alley-oop finish. He recorded nine points in the opening quarter and finished with a team-high 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting, along with two rebounds and two assists.
Despite Washington building a 13-point second-half lead, Cleveland mounted an impressive comeback to secure a 121-111 victory. Evan Mobley led the Cavaliers with 24 points and 12 rebounds, while Peyton Watson contributed 22 points. The win marked Cleveland's third consecutive victory and maintained its undefeated home record to begin the season.
The net also carries a distinctive piece of NBA history. The 2026-27 season introduced the first basketball nets featuring the official NBA logo during regular-season competition. This new design represents a notable evolution in NBA game equipment, making these nets particularly significant for collectors.
Beyond its connection to Cleveland's comeback victory, this particular South Rim net holds an additional distinction as the basket through which the No. 1 overall pick scored his first NBA points. It preserves a moment from the opening chapter of a highly anticipated career, witnessed on the Cavaliers' home court.
