Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang have informally agreed to play each other in a one-on-one basketball game for charity on Friday in Houston.

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

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.
