Scoot Henderson Still Not Cleared to Run or Jump Eight Weeks After Hamstring Tear

The 21-year-old will meet team doctors this week to set his next rehab steps.

Overview

  • Henderson described his activity as limited to walking to spots, shooting free throws and stationary ballhandling without jumping or explosive movements.
  • He characterized his status as week-to-week rather than day-to-day as he continues rehabilitation.
  • Portland initially projected a four-to-eight week return window, which GM Joe Cronin later framed as intentionally broad because hamstring recovery is unpredictable.
  • Henderson has traveled with the team, sat on the bench in street clothes for every game and participated in both team and private film study.
  • His prolonged recovery intersects with Portland’s roster planning and his eligibility for a contract extension next summer.
