Portland’s Scoot Henderson Faces Mysterious Hamstring Injury: Will He Return Sooner Than Expected?
This is a heavy blow for the Trail Blazers.
Notice that the Trail Blazers’ release says Henderson is “expected to return to basketball activities in 4-8 weeks,” not return to play. Hamstrings are fickle and can be slow to heal, and you can be sure the Trail Blazers will be cautious and not look to rush him back and risk re-injury. The Blazers’ timeline suggests that Henderson will start working out toward a return in November and possibly return to the court before or around Thanksgiving.
It seems most likely now that Holiday will start at the point next to Shaedon Sharpe in the backcourt. The Trail Blazers were already a little shorthanded in the backcourt, with Damian Lillard on the roster but not playing this season due to a torn Achilles.
