Scoot Henderson News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Hits 20-point mark again Henderson contributed 22 points (9-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 134-128 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Henderson has started Portland's last two games, both against the Spurs, and he has hit the 20-point mark in both contests. Even though he's looked raw at times, he seems to be finding his footing at the NBA level, though his path to a starting role is likely blocked as long as Malcolm Brogdon remains on the roster. Henderson averages 15.8 points per game over his last 10 appearances (two starts).

Drops career-high 25 Henderson closed Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs with 25 points (8-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes.

Impact Making his first start since Nov. 1 with both Anfernee Simons (illness) and Shaedon Sharpe (thigh) in street clothes, Henderson rose to the occasion in a matchup with 2023 first overall pick Victor Wembanyama. Henderson, who was selected two picks later, set a new career scoring high while continuing a strong run from three-point range that has seen him shoot 40.6 percent (13-for-32) from beyond the arc over the last nine contests. The 19-year-old still has plenty of rough edges to his game -- he committed five fouls and six turnovers Thursday -- but Henderson's beginning to flash his upside on a more frequent basis.

Starting against Spurs Henderson will draw the start against the Spurs on Thursday, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Records double-double from bench Henderson supplied 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and 11 assists across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 victory over the Kings.

Impact With Shaedon Sharpe (groin) sidelined, Henderson stepped up with sublime second-unit support. Exemplary play from Malcolm Brogdon has kept Hendersion trapped on the depth chart since his return from injury, but the team still views Henderson as the point guard of the future. He's shown his skills as a ball distributor with two consecutive double-digit assist totals.

Leads bench in scoring in loss Henderson ended with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 126-106 loss to Golden State.

Impact Henderson led the Portland bench in scoring and minutes played while recording a team-high-tying steals mark and connecting on a pair of threes in a losing effort. Henderson, who set a season high in steals, has recorded 10 or more points in 12 games this year.

Double-double off bench Henderson chipped in 23 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 35 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 122-114 loss to the Jazz.

Impact The Blazers trailed by 27 points heading into the fourth quarter, allowing both teams to give plenty of run to their second units, but Henderson rallied the troops for a late surge to make the final score respectable. It's the first career double-double for the rookie, and now that he's healthy, Henderson is beginning to look like the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Over his last eight games he's averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.0 boards and 1.5 threes, and those numbers could improve further as he grows more comfortable being the leader of Portland's bench crew.

Wakes up with 19 points Henderson chipped in 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 132-127 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Henderson faded into the woodwork after returning from injury due to Malcolm Brogdon's (knee) effective play, but his proficient bench play is making a strong case for a return to the starting five. The rookie's box scores continue to improve since his return, and his 19 points marked his best scoring total since coming back to action.

Impact Henderson's shot volume increased dramatically Saturday His return from the ankle injury is coming along, but he'll need to show dramatic improvement to get back into the starting lineup. Malcolm Brogdon's stint with the first unit has yielded superb results, and although the team views Henderson as the point guard of the future, the Trail Blazers also desperately need to string some wins together.

Comes off bench again in win Henderson put up two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven assists and one rebound in 22 minutes during Thursday's 103-95 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact In his four appearances since returning to action from his nine-game absence, Henderson has come off the bench, averaging 22.0 minutes, 7.8 points, 4.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.3 steals while shooting a paltry 31.4 percent from the floor. The highly touted rookie has certainly endured some inconsistency to start the season, but it's possible the Trail Blazers could insert him back into the starting lineup as they prioritize their future.

Dishes seven assists in return Henderson (ankle) finished with three points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 17 minutes in Wednesday's 121-105 win over the Jazz.

Impact After getting in some conditioning work in the G League on Tuesday, Henderson somewhat surprisingly returned to action for the Trail Blazers on Wednesday after missing the previous nine contests with a right ankle sprain. The Trail Blazers still elected to ease Henderson back into the fold in a bench role, and while the rookie was able to dish out seven assists in his limited minutes, he struggled with his shooting and turned the ball over three times. Henderson should see his minutes creep up in the Trail Blazers' upcoming games and will eventually recapture a spot in the starting lineup, but fantasy managers should still expect some inefficiency from the young point guard. Because of his poor shooting, Henderson will likely continue to retain far more value in points leagues than category leagues.

Coming off bench Wednesday Henderson (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz but won't start, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Henderson has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous nine contests due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie guard was averaging 8.8 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 28.2 minutes across his first five appearances before going down to injury. Malcolm Brogdon and Shaedon Sharpe will likely remain as Portland's starting backcourt, and Henderson will operate on a minutes restriction against Utah.

Upgraded to questionable Henderson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Henderson sprained his right ankle Nov. 1 and has been sidelined since. He recently went to the G League for conditioning purposes, and it appears he responded well to the increased activity. Even if Henderson doesn't suit up Wednesday, his return to game action seems imminent, though he'll presumably be subject to restrictions at first.

Returns to NBA The Trail Blazers recalled Henderson (ankle) from the Rip City Remix of the G league on Tuesday.

Impact Henderson's stint in the G League was a short one, as the rookie guard likely practiced with the Rip City Remix as he gears up for a return from his ankle injury that has sidelined him since Nov. 1. Henderson won't be available for Portland's next two contests but will have his first chance to suit up in Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee.
