Overview
- Portland upgraded Henderson to doubtful for Tuesday’s game against Phoenix, setting up his first possible appearance since March 27, 2025.
- The third-year guard said he feels amazing after extensive three-on-three and one-on-one work and has met team benchmarks for a return.
- He tore his left hamstring in late September and has missed roughly four months and 50 games.
- Coaches expect his availability to stabilize the point guard rotation as the team evaluates him ahead of summer extension eligibility.
- Portland also added shooter Vit Krejci, whom Tiago Splitter praised as a helpful fit for a roster that ranks last in three-point percentage, as the 23-27 Blazers chase a play-in spot from 10th in the West.
