It is not certain that we are witnessing the “beauty” between Victor Wembanyama and Scooter Henderson… A priori, “Wemby” should be in uniform against the Blazers, but Henderson is more than uncertain. To the extent that The Oregonian announces that he will have an MRI this Saturday. A year ago, Shaedon Sharpe had experienced the same thing, and he had torn the cartilage at the level of the shoulder…
Without himself knowing when he was injured, the number 3 of the Draft suffers from the right shoulder. After an exceptional first quarter, finished with 13 points, Henderson left his teammates in the 3rd quarter, and he did not come back into play. “It’s not that bad, it’ll be fine” assures Kris Murrayhis teammate. “But it’s the kind of thing where we are not going to force in the summer league”.
Scoot Henderson has a ‘super power’
As the Blazers announced that he was going to have an MRI, there is still a little concern, and we really doubt that he is dressed for the reunion with Wembanyama. In the meantime, he dazzled everyone for a quarter!
“You could tell he wanted to send a message, and I think he succeeded! » reacted Chauncey Billups after Henderson compiled 15 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. “His superpower is his speed and explosiveness. I told him to always play like that, and I thought he did a great job. He did the right thing most of the time. When he attacked and drew two defenders, he found the player unmarked, whereas usually young people tend to force. »
Defensively, Henderson was also strong, and he delivered a superb duel to Amen Thompson, author of 16 points. “When your point guard makes it difficult for the opposing point guard who is trying to set up their attack, it makes things even more difficult for the opponent. It’s very good when you can have a physical presence on the front line. »
On arrival, it’s an evening that remains complicated with a defeat at the buzzer (100-99) against Houston, and especially a shoulder injury.
