What’s the latest with Portland Trail Blazers’ injuries?

Key players face multi-week injuries, forcing reliance on two-way players and backups while the team struggles with a 6-9 record and seven losses in nine games.

  • Ahead of Friday night's game at Golden State, Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe were downgraded to out, forcing interim coach Tiago Splitter to rely on two-way players and backups.
  • Scoot Henderson, third-year point guard, suffered a torn left hamstring and could miss at least two to four weeks, with GM Joe Cronin warning recovery might take up to 10 weeks due to injury stubbornness.
  • In the Blazers' last game, a 122-121 loss, Sidy Cissoko started and Javonte Cooke debuted, while the previous night Cissoko, Rayan Rupert, Caleb Love, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen featured in the rotation.
  • The Blazers have dropped seven of their last nine games, and interim coach Tiago Splitter said preparing amid injuries "is not easy" as Jrue Holiday faces reevaluation in one to two weeks.
  • And it doesn't look like Portland's roster will be anything close to whole anytime soon, so the Blazers are prioritizing development for Yang Hansen and Caleb Love to fill minutes.
