Portland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson suffered a left hamstring tear during an offseason workout. Blazers general manager Joe Cronin recently addressed Henderson's unfortunate injury at media day, saying that the medical staff is telling him that Henderson won't require surgery.
Cronin said Henderson "hopefully won't miss too much time," but also cautioned that "hamstrings are tricky."
Henderson suffered his injury on September 26 and was given an estimated recovery timeline of four to eight weeks. He will likely miss the beginning of the regular season, which starts on October 22 for the Blazers when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
