Despite being hit by the injury bug mostly this season, the Portland Trail Blazers have hung around inside the top ten spot in the crowded Western Conference. Jrue Holiday has missed a ton of games. Damian Lillard, who surprised everybody by coming back to the Blazers, may sit out this season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
It’s safe to say that they are a bit short at their backcourt rotation. Shaedon Sharpe, a natural two guard, has sometimes been tasked to run the point. Newly minted All-Star Deni Avdjia has assumed the role of a point forward for the team.
But a bit of luck has finally come for the Portland Trail Blazers. According to head coach Tiago Splitter, often-injured Scoot Henderson is closing on his season debut.
