The Portland Trail Blazers’ 2025-26 season is off to a bad start already.<\/p>\n
Entering next season, the Blazers are among the most exciting teams because they had a strong second half in 2024-25 season. Many people expected, or at least wanted to believe, that they could keep up the momentum. Even with Damian Lillard<\/a> to be sidelined for all of 2025-26 due to a torn Achilles<\/a>, there’s a lot to look forward to.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, young point guard Scoot Henderson<\/a> will be out for the next 4-8 weeks after tearing his hamstring in an offseason workout. Though he could always heal ahead of schedule, he’s now expected to be out for the season opener, and possibly longer. This is disappointing news for the Trail Blazers and their fans. Building off of a decent sophomore campaign, the team liked his offseason development<\/a>.<\/p>\n Henderson’s injury will lead to a significant change for coach Chauncey Billups’ rotation. He’ll also lose crucial development time in the rotation alongside fellow franchise building block Shaedon Sharpe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scoot Henderson sustained a left hamstring tear during an off-season workout this week.<\/p>\n He will begin rehabilitation and is expected to return to basketball activities in 4-8 weeks.https:\/\/t.co\/emvM22ANCt<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EmG3hC5wNY<\/a><\/p>\n — Portland Trail Blazers (@trailblazers) September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHenderson’s Injury is a Massive Issue for Portland<\/h3>\n
