The kid's got talent, and they’ll need every ounce of it against a Rockets squad that’s been surprisingly tough this season.

Scoot Henderson: The Rising Star with a Quadricep Issue

But wait, there’s more! The plot thickens with Scoot Henderson also on the injury report, nursing a quadriceps injury. The rookie was making waves before getting banged up, and now he’s listed as questionable as well. This is like watching your favorite superhero movie where half the cast gets knocked out before the big showdown. Can the Blazers rally without their star players? Only time will tell.
