WATCH: Josh Smith vs. Royce White Fight BIG3 Week 1
Saturday night brought the first slate of BIG3 basketball games on CBS. Unfortunately, most of the big-time stars either didn’t play (ie: Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis), perform well (ie: Lamar Odom), or stay on the court (ie: Josh Smith, Royce White).
At least Smith and White provided a highlight, though. The pair started scrapping early on in the Enemies-Bivouac matchup, leading to both former stars getting ejected. It was the first-ever BIG3 game for both Smith and White, and also the first-ever game for the actual teams (they’re both expansion franchises).

Bivouac wound up winning the 50-43 behind 22 points from Will Bynum and 16 from Anthony Morrow. On the Enemies, the three headliners were a dud. Arenas didn’t play, Odom scored two points, and White was tossed. Former NBA player Craig Smith had a game-high 26 points.
The BIG3 Week 1 continues today with three matchups at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
-Aliens-Triplets
-Tri-State-Killer 3’s
-Ball Hogs-Ghost Ballers
Sunday’s games will be on CBS from 1-3pm and CBS Sports Network from 3-4pm.
