Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson will make his season debut Friday against Grizzlies
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson is set to make his season debut Friday after recovering from a torn left hamstring.
Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter told reporters, including The Oregonian, on Thursday that Henderson would play Friday when Portland hosts the Memphis Grizzlies.
Henderson, 22, tore his left hamstring during an offseason workout in September and has been working his way back ever since. He has averaged 13.3 points, 5.2 assists and 3.1 rebounds over two seasons since the Trail Blazers selected him with the third overall pick in the 2023 draft.
