Back as a birthday present for Scoot Henderson?
Now that they have an All-Star, with Danny Avdiaand that they occupy 10th place in the Western Conference, not forgetting the scandal surrounding Chauncey Billups, who left his place on the bench, we tend to forget that the Blazers are evolving without Scott Henderson since the beginning of the season.
As a reminder, Portland’s leader was injured at the end of September 2025 by tearing a hamstring. And his absence was so prolonged that he still hasn’t played this season. His return, barring a relapse, would be in the next few days, 45 weeks after his last regular season game on March 27, 2025.
“I feel incredibly good. I’m ready », Scoot Henderson explained. And it would be perfect if it could be done this Tuesday against the Suns. “I hope: it’s my birthday”, so specifies the one who turns 22 this February 3rd.
From the end of December and the beginning of January, he gained momentum in training. He was able to train normally for two weeks and logically did 3 on 3 and then 5 on 5, the last step before returning to the field. So when is this return? “We will see him play again very, very soon”answered his coach Tiago Splitter on Sunday.
Scoot Henderson is waiting for the medical green light to start his third NBA season. “I’m all excited. I have been since the beginning of the season”he notes. “I’m ready to take another opportunity to show what I can do and let our team show what it can do. It will be good to play again.”
