The Portland Trail Blazers have ruled Scoot Henderson out for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League after the 2023 No. 3 pick sustained a right shoulder injury against the Houston Rockets in his Summer League debut last Friday, according to The Oregonians Aaron J. Fentress.

Henderson tallied 15 points, six assists, five rebounds and a block in 21 minutes of play, showing off his explosive first step, defensive tenacity and playmaking prowess before he went down. The potential face of the franchise in the eventual post-Damian Lillard era, holding Henderson out for relatively meaningless games in order to preserve his health is among the wisest decisions that the Blazers could make.

While Henderson is now out for the Summer League Blazers, there's still plenty of reason to tune into their upcoming matches. Not only is 2022 No. 7 pick Shaedon Sharpe still playing but 2023 No. 23 pick Kris Murray remains in the starting lineup as well.

As of Jul. 14, Sharpe is averaging 17.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game, routinely making highlight plays. However, he's shooting just 34.8 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from 3 and has left a lot to be desired defensively.

Murray, the twin brother of Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray, has averaged 9.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting 40.5 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from 3. To this point, he's been almost the antithesis of Sharpe, regularly playing sound defense but not making many highlights.

Lastly, considering their need for backcourt and center depth, the performance of 23-year-old guard Michael Devoe, 24-year-old guard Jeenathan ‘Nate' Williams Jr., 20-year-old center Ibou Badji and 27-year-old center Duop Reath are of particular importance.

The most impressive of this quartet has been Devoe, who's averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 64.3 percent from 3.
