The Portland Trail Blazers are making a serious move, sending Scoot Henderson back to the bench. It looks like their experiment with Henderson starting during Ja Morant’s absence is officially over.

Cissoko Steps In Amid Backcourt Shuffle

Even with Ja Morant still sidelined by a hamstring injury and unavailable, Henderson is out of the starting five. Guard Sidy Cissoko is stepping up to take his spot. This decision was made right before Tuesday’s game, showing how quickly things can change in the league.

With Morant still on the injury report, and Henderson now moving to the bench, all eyes will be on Cissoko and how Portland’s backcourt performs when they hit the court for Tuesday’s matchup.
