Blazers List Scoot Henderson as Doubtful vs. Suns as Season Debut Nears

His impending return offers needed stability for Portland's depleted guard rotation.

Overview

  • Portland officially upgraded Scoot Henderson to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Suns, the team's latest injury report shows.
  • Henderson has been cleared for full basketball activities for roughly two weeks, has resumed contact scrimmages, and told reporters he feels "amazing."
  • The Blazers remain shorthanded with Deni Avdija doubtful due to a back strain, Jrue Holiday questionable for personal reasons, and Damian Lillard, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle out.
  • Phoenix ruled Devin Booker out with a right ankle sprain and listed Jalen Green as questionable; Booker did not travel to Portland.
  • Henderson tore his left hamstring in late September and missed about 50 games, and his return carries evaluation stakes with extension eligibility this summer.
