Scoot Henderson is out to start the 2025-26 season after unfortunately suffering a left hamstring tear. That injury has Sam Vecenie of The Athletic questioning on the Game Theory Podcast how this Portland Trail Blazers team, severely lacking point guard depth, will generate enough offense until Henderson gets back.
