Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Considered week-to-week
Rotowire
Henderson (hamstring) has been limited to stationary shooting and dribbling in his recovery from a torn left hamstring and is considered week-to-week moving forward, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
Henderson sustained the injury during an offseason workout prior to the start of training camp and doesn't appear close to making his season debut. The third-year point guard said he has yet to progress to jumping, and he will presumably have several more hurdles to clear in his rehab process before being ready to resume contact drills. Until Henderson can return, Shaedon Sharpe and Caleb Love will likely continue to see more opportunities on the ball when starting point guard Jrue Holiday (calf) isn't available or is resting on the bench.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Suffers torn hamstring
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers announced Friday that Henderson will resume basketball activities in 4-to-8 weeks after suffering a torn left hamstring, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Henderson sustained the injury during an offseason workout, and the timeline for a return will likely sideline him for the start of the upcoming season. While the 2023 first-rounder is on the shelf, Portland will likely lean on Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe in the backcourt. A clearer path to minutes in the early going should exist for Rayan Rupert as well.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Out for final game of season
Rotowire
Henderson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
A concussion will keep Henderson on the sidelines for the final game of the 2024-25 season. The second-year guard showed some flashes of brilliance throughout the campaign, but his fantasy upside was often limited by his role in the rotation. He ends the campaign with averages of 12.7 points and 5.1 assists per game, and aside from a slight regression compared to his rookie year, he also started in only 10 of his 66 regular-season appearances.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Huge night from second unit
Rotowire
Henderson registered 30 points (10-16 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to the Knicks.
The 30 points represented Henderson's best scoring performance since he rained 39 down on the Nets on Jan. 14. The third overall pick in the 2023 Draft has developed a little more consistency of late, scoring in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games and averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that span, but he's still a long way from living up to his pedigree.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Game-high nine assists Friday
Rotowire
Henderson totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 121-102 win over the Nets.
Henderson supplied a full stat line Friday, also reaching double figures in scoring in his fifth straight game. Over his last eight contests, the 2023 lottery pick has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes. Turnovers could remain an issue for the second year-guard, however, and Henderson's overall fantasy upside will remain capped while he consistently functions from Portland's second unit as long as Anfernee Simons is healthy.
