Scoot Henderson News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Heads to G League for conditioning Portland assigned Henderson (ankle) to the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday for conditioning purposes.

Impact Henderson has been sidelined since spraining his right ankle against the Pistons on Nov. 1, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. He'll presumably get a few practices in with the G League affiliate, and if everything goes well, the 2023 No. 3 overall pick could suit up again soon. Before the injury, Henderson was off to a rough start, averaging just 8.8 points, 4.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 turnovers per game while shooting 34.6 percent from the field, but he'll get plenty of opportunities to change that narrative once he's back to full strength.

Struggles once again Henderson posted four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 126-98 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Henderson didn't look good in his NBA debut despite the 11-point, four-assist performance, and things have gone downhill since then for the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Henderson has failed to score in double digits in his last two games, but even worse, he has posted a 9:13 assist-to-turnover ratio. He has enough talent in the world to bounce back and adjust, but this is not the start of the season many expected from him.

Scores 11 in NBA debut Henderson racked up 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although Henderson was unable to connect on any of his three-point attempts during Wednesday's regular-season opener, he still scored in double figures during his first taste of NBA action. The 19-year-old is tasked with replacing Damian Lillard in the Trail Blazers' backcourt this year, and while Henderson has the long-term potential to succeed, he could experience some growing pains as a rookie. He led the team in playing time Wednesday, but Portland also has Shaedon Sharpe and Malcolm Brogdon available off the bench to help take some of the pressure off the No. 3 overall pick.

Records eight points in loss Henderson posted eight points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and a steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.

Impact Replacing Damian Lillard is a tall order, but that's exactly what's expected of Henderson this season. The first-round pick is only 19 years old and doesn't have the advantage of seasoning at the college level, but he put in time with the G League Ignite and has all the skills to be Portland's long-term answer at the position. Monday's tepid shooting night is a good example of the growing pains he might experience in his rookie campaign. Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons and Malcolm Brogdon are all in the fold to carry the load in the backcourt, giving Henderson plenty of time to develop.
