Trail Blazers: Henderson is expected to miss four to eight weeks in a hamstring tear. He is 23 years old.

September 27th News The Trail Blazers announced today that team defender Scudt Henderson suffered a hamstring tear on his left leg. The injury occurred during the team's training process and is expected to leave him out for 4 to 8 weeks. With training camp about to begin, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow from the Trail Blazers and will also seriously affect Henderson's prospects for entering his third season.

Henderson was originally placed with high hopes, hoping that he can truly show his full strength this season. Last season, especially in the second half, Henderson made significant progress as a scorer, and his overall performance on the court was gradually eased. However, this injury may have to wait until mid-November to return, which will inevitably interrupt his growth trajectory.

Sports reporter Mikai Bruce said in his report: "This offseason, the Trail Blazers welcomed Ju Holiday and Damian Lillard back, and Henderson could finally get real veteran leadership around him. Although Lillard will miss the entire season due to injury, his presence in the locker room and on the sidelines can still help Henderson move to the next step in his career."

"This injury may also have a long-term impact on Henderson because of the legs Tendon injuries are often prone to repeated. Even if he returns, he may have to play carefully, worried that his injury will recur. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Henderson himself and the Trail Blazers’ planning this season. "

Henderson, as the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, played 66 games for the Trail Blazers last season, and averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game.
