Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson posted a career-high 19 points on Monday night versus the Los Angeles Clippers, shooting 8-16 from the field while attacking the halfcourt like it was his own, personal football field.
This marked his 8th game since returning from injury. Henderson has shot 40% or better from the field in 5 of those games, committed 3 or fewer turnovers in 6, and scored in double figures in 5. He’s even shot 40% or better from three-point range 4 times. These may seem like modest achievements, but compared to some of his worst outings so far as a rookie, they’re a godsend.
