Portland guard Scoot Henderson and Houston guard Amen Thompson did a very good job in their debuts in the league’s summer camp, but both left the court injured in the Rockets’ 100-99 victory.

Henderson, the 3rd overall selection by the Trail Blazers, left in the 3rd quarter with a right shoulder problem and didn’t check back in the game. Thompson exited with a left ankle injury after falling awkwardly in his attempt to block a shot under the rim in the 4th quarter. He also didn’t play anymore.
“It’s pretty sore,” Amen told the media after the match. Thompson will undergo an MRI to determine if his injury is serious.
Scoot didn’t speak with the media after the match. His manager Jonah Herscu shared that he doesn’t know anything specific about his player injury yet.
