Scoot Henderson’s Off-Season Setback: Will This Hamstring Tear Alter His Rising Star Trajectory?

Heading into the 2025-26 NBA season, not all’s smooth sailing for the Portland Trail Blazers as their young point guard Scoot Henderson will be sidelined at the start. The team dropped the news Friday that Henderson tore his left hamstring during an offseason workout, knocking him out for potentially 4 to 8 weeks. It’s a bitter pill given Henderson’s rising trajectory—fresh off a solid sophomore run where he led Portland in assists with 5.1 per game and chipped in 12.7 points. While the exact return date remains hazy, Portland fans will have to wait as preseason tips off against Golden State on October 8, preluding the official opener versus Minnesota on October 22. With Jrue Holiday now taking the helm as a veteran floor general, Dalano Banton is poised to receive more minutes to fill the void. Unfortunately, Scoot isn’t the only star nursing an injury this offseason—Philadelphia’s Jared McCain and Houston’s Fred VanVleet have also hit setbacks. Tough breaks all around, but it’s part and parcel of the grind leading into what promises to be an electric NBA campaign. LEARN MORE
