The loser of the game will donate $5,000 to the nonpolitical charity of the winner’s choice.

“Hmm. You’re taller than I am. From the video, you’re probably a better shot. And, I’ve seen you dunking (on an 8-foot rim). Altogether, pretty strong. So...,” Cruz tweeted Thursday in response to a tweet from Yang challenging the Texas senator to a game of one-on-one. ADVERTISEMENT

The idea came about when a Fox News producer tweeted the idea after ABC News aired an interview Wednesday with Yang playing basketball at a Houston court ahead of Thursday’s primary debate.

Cruz quipped back, “Sorry. You gotta poll at 5% or more to play on my court.”

Yang replied that he’d be “delighted” to beat Cruz in basketball, including a clip from a recent Hill-HarrisX poll showing Yang at 5 percent.

Cruz wrote “bring it,” and suggested a four-on-four game, with each bringing three paid staffers, but Yang suggested a one-on-one match.

“Give the fans a show,” Yang tweeted.

The Hill reached out to Yang and Cruz’s staff to confirm if the game has been set up between the two unlikely players.
