Not a real update, but let’s look at the situation. Scoot is long overdue and we have to assume at this point, he should be back relatively soon (fingers crossed).
Aside from that, he kinda cooked the back half of last season. During this time, he’s posting on Instagram a lot. Mostly, non-sponsored type stuff. Just lifestyle/hype posts.
Over the summer, he was working his ass off and in tons of YouTube videos, specifically the Chris Johnson videos. All over the internet. Right before the season, again, a ton of hype stuff that’s not sponsored.
He’s been pretty silent since that hamstring injury. No unsponsored posts at all.
He just posted today. All on his own trying to hype us up. So here I am hyped up.
I’m gonna hold on to my hopium and say he’s just about back.

but the doctors on r/ripcity told me he’s probably gonna miss the rest of the season!
It’s insane how we miss him considering the fhe fact he’s NOT one of the best in his draft class (yet?) and also the fact that team is kinda winning without him.
That said, I really miss Scoot myself. Like Deni he showed us (some) progress and you can tell this guy has a character. I believe in Scoot.
Dudes been out like 4 months and still has abs popping out of his shirt like got dayum
More than anything, I missed that dude’s smile and enthusiasm on the court.
i believe in him
I hope he comes back soon, dude is full flirting with bust territory
He’s gonna be a problem for the NBA when he comes back on THIS team. Lets be real.
Who’s that guy, does he play basketball?
If Scoot comes back cooking like he was pre injury, League in trouble.
People forget how much he improved last year. Hes still the best passer on the team. Much needed.
Excited for the second half of our season
*Glad to see someone working on their free throws!*
I’m psyched to see Scoot on the court again this season. My biggest question is have we seen another hamstring injury this severe from someone young like he is in the NBA recently?
Hamstrings are notoriously long recoveries, even after being cleared to play with no minutes restrictions. Everyone seemed to think Harden could be out of the league when he took a season to ramp up, now look at him. It’ll be interesting from a sports med perspective to see how Scoot bounces back
Also, if he isn’t able to ramp up by the end of the season, I’ll be annoyed simply cause I’m fully willing to spend all my free time till next season debating other sickos (shout-out Mike) on r/NBA that we can’t hold this season against Scoot’s development
Beautiful smile
Unfortunately his window has closed. It’s been a gift and a curse for the blazers. They had no pg for so long it opened up Deni’s game which Scoots game doesn’t compliment. The blazers have their core 4. Deni is a soon to be all star. Sharpe has that 2nd scorer, star level talent. Tomani is the 3&D guy. And Clingan is the rebounding interior defensive anchor. They need more role players who are able to shoot and play defense. Honestly, especially if Ja is traded, I’d include him a trade to get JJJ. That is a piece that would be more valuable than Scoot.
I’ve been a big Scoot believer but I’m sadly starting to lose hope. Just need to see something on the court. Hopefully this year.
