Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Out for final game of season
Rotowire
Henderson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
A concussion will keep Henderson on the sidelines for the final game of the 2024-25 season. The second-year guard showed some flashes of brilliance throughout the campaign, but his fantasy upside was often limited by his role in the rotation. He ends the campaign with averages of 12.7 points and 5.1 assists per game, and aside from a slight regression compared to his rookie year, he also started in only 10 of his 66 regular-season appearances.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Huge night from second unit
Rotowire
Henderson registered 30 points (10-16 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to the Knicks.
The 30 points represented Henderson's best scoring performance since he rained 39 down on the Nets on Jan. 14. The third overall pick in the 2023 Draft has developed a little more consistency of late, scoring in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games and averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that span, but he's still a long way from living up to his pedigree.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Leads team with 22 points
Rotowire
Henderson supplied 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 107-89 loss to the Thunder.
Although Henderson is unlikely to supplant Anfernee Simons this season, the youngster is clearly Portland's point guard of the future. He was forced into a starting role for 36 games last season, and his numbers have dipped due to a reduced role with the second unit during the 2024-25 season. With Portland's playoff hopes all but eliminated, it would not be surprising to see Henderson take on an expanded role down the stretch.

Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Game-high nine assists Friday
Rotowire
Henderson totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 121-102 win over the Nets.
Henderson supplied a full stat line Friday, also reaching double figures in scoring in his fifth straight game. Over his last eight contests, the 2023 lottery pick has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes. Turnovers could remain an issue for the second year-guard, however, and Henderson's overall fantasy upside will remain capped while he consistently functions from Portland's second unit as long as Anfernee Simons is healthy.
