“That was a weird couple of days,” Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson told reporters after Tuesday’s practice in Tualatin. “I was like ‘damn.’ It’s not like I could get mad. It was just a series of events. Life be lifein’.”
The second-year guard was referring to a strange two-day stretch last month. On Nov. 20, Henderson sustained a left quad contusion that forced him to exit early in the Blazers’ 109-99 road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Then on Nov. 21, as the team was in Houston to face the Rockets, Henderson suffered a back strain while riding in an Uber that was involved in a minor car accident.
