For much of Friday night’s summer league action between the Rockets and Trail Blazers, it was fast-paced, exciting basketball featuring many of the two franchises’ up-and-coming stars.
Portland guard Scoot Henderson looked every bit the part of a future All-Star, scoring 15 points while adding six assists and five rebounds before exiting the contest with a right shoulder injury in the third quarter.
As if an injury to Henderson wasn’t bad enough, No. 4 pick Amen Thompson left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle injury, and it did not look pretty.
