What is Scoot Henderson’s injury? How long will he be gone?
Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson is injured and will be out for several weeks.
This is the latest update.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson was injured in the game against the Detroit Pistons, and the team is now without his guard on short notice.
Fitness problems continued on 1 November and the team has been without players since then.
An extremely brief official statement from the NBA revealed that the player suffered a bone bruise and a sprained right ankle and will be out for another 2-3 weeks.
What is Scoot Henderson’s record with the Portland Trail Blazers?
He has missed Portland’s last three games, two against the Grizzlies (101-110, 115-113) and a loss to the Kings (121-118).
The injury comes at an unfortunate time for a guard poised to become one of the most notable rookies of the NBA season and a potential NBA Rookie of the Year winner.
Today, however, that bet seems more unlikely, even though the players themselves say so.
Henderson, the No.
3 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, averaged 8.
8 points and 4.
6 assists in 28.
4 minutes in five appearances for his team before the injury love.
He shot 34.

Henderson isn’t the only major injury issue the team has to deal with, as Anfernee Simons is also out as he recovers from thumb surgery and he’ll be out for less than one month.
Center Robert Williams III is set to undergo surgery on his right knee and will, as a result, miss the rest of the season.
As well as Simons and Williams, Malcolm Brogdon suffered a hamstring injury in the game against the Sacramento Kings.
He is also set to spend some time in the recovery room for the Trail Blazers.
