On September 27, there is less than a month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. Earlier today, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the 2023 Tanhua Scud Henderson would be out of the hamstring of his left leg with at least 4-8 weeks.

Trail Blazers officially updated social media to report on Henderson's injury. The Trail Blazers wrote: Henderson tore his left leg hamstring during an offseason training this week. He will begin rehabilitation training and is expected to return to basketball in 4-8 weeks.

Henderson is the 2023 class of Tanhua, but his development so far is not satisfactory. Henderson made a total of 66 appearances in the last season, with only 10 starting games. He averaged 26.7 minutes per game, scored 12.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1 steal and 0.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 41.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%. It should be noted that such performance is even a certain regression than his rookie season.

Just earlier this week, the famous US media clutchpoints ins updated its updates and talked about the 23rd draft: the 2023 NBA draft will be forever remembered as the "Wenban Yama Draft". Everyone knows that Wenban Yama will join the Spurs as the No. 1 pick. But there was a fierce debate in the second place: choose Henderson or Miller? This was Jordan's last big decision during his tenure as the Hornets boss. It seems they made the right choice two years later. Miller has shown star-level scoring ability, averaging 18.3 points per game in the first two seasons, fully meeting the modern NBA wing standards before the injury was affected; while Henderson has highlights in the Trail Blazers, his average of 13.3 points per game and ups and downs have made him grow slowly. Different players and different positionings, but early performance has proved that Miller is the right second choice.

How do you evaluate Henderson's performance in the past two seasons? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment section.
