US EditionPortland Trail Blazers’ Scoot Henderson sidelined with injury ahead of pivotal season
Henderson’s hamstring tear delays his critical third season and may sideline him for up to 20 games, impacting the Blazers’ backcourt depth and playoff hopes, the team said.
- On Friday, the Portland Trail Blazers announced Scoot Henderson tore his left hamstring during a pick-up game at the Tualatin practice facility this week and will begin rehabilitation soon, missing four to eight weeks.
- Entering his third NBA season, Scoot Henderson faced a major opportunity this year after Portland traded Anfernee Simons and added veteran guard Jrue Holiday to foster his development.
- Medical updates show Scoot Henderson initially thought the injury was minor, but MRI testing revealed a worse tear and he has begun rehabilitation after a career-high 39-point game last season.
- With Henderson sidelined, Jrue Holiday becomes the clear starting point guard while Shaedon Sharpe and recent signing Blake Wesley take on heavier ball-handling and depth roles.
- With training camp days away and preseason starting Oct. 8, hamstring injuries can linger and lost mentorship from Chauncey Billups, Jrue Holiday, and Damian Lillard could hinder Henderson's growth.
