Scoot Henderson was demoted back to a bench role in the Portland Trail Blazers' early Saturday matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Some have advocated for Henderson to take on a full-time starting gig, sharing the backcourt with Jrue Holiday. Unfortunately, Scoot hasn't helped his case with his concerning play as of late. In Portland's 109-93 loss to Charlotte, he finished with eight points and four assists in 23 minutes, shooting an inefficient 3-of-12 from the field and missing on all seven of his three-point attempts.
Scoot had a strong return from injury, showcasing improvements in his defense and shooting.
