Scoot Henderson and Amen Thompson are injured in debuts, while Jabari Smith Jr. sinks Blazers with buzzer beater
No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson, who finished the game with 15 points, six assists and five rebounds in 21 minutes, suffered a right shoulder injury according to the team and did not return.
For the Rockets, fourth overall pick Amen Thompson was also forced out of action by what a team source told ESPN was an ankle sprain.
Thompson also looked good in his debut, finishing with 16 points, five assists and four rebounds, and his injury is reportedly not considered serious.

The Rockets came back to win with a dramatic shot by Jabari Smith Jr. to pull out the 100-99 victory at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
