The Portland Trail Blazers will be missing No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson for a significant amount of time.
The team announced Saturday that an MRI had revealed bone bruising in addition to the point guard's right ankle sprain, giving him a return timeline of two to three weeks. From that time frame, best-case scenario would see Henderson return Nov. 26 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Henderson sustained the injury Nov. 1 in a game against the Bucks, exiting in the third quarter and not returning. He has missed three games since and is now in line to miss at least seven more.
He might not be the top player on the Blazers this season, but few, if any, players loom larger for the Blazers' future than Henderson following the Damian Lillard trade. The Blazers drafted Henderson months before sending their all-time leading scorer to the Bucks, landing on a point guard of the future while trading the one of the past.
Five games into Henderson's career, the results haven't quite been what the Blazers would want, with the 19-year-old shooting 34.6% from the field and 9.5% from 3-point range, with four turnovers per game against 4.6 assists. He wouldn't be the first young ballhandler to struggle to acclimate to the NBA at the start of his career, though.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
