Blazers' Scoot Henderson Opens Up on Injury Setback
The point guard might miss the start of the season.
www.si.comI don’t have real-time access to the latest contracts right now, but here’s the current understanding of Scoot Henderson’s rookie-scale deal and what tends to be updated most recently.

Scoot Henderson signed a four-year rookie-scale contract with the Portland Trail Blazers starting in 2023. The deal is commonly cited as worth about $44.36 million with annual salaries around $9.77–$10.26 million in the first two seasons and team options on the fourth year. This setup is typical for lottery picks and allows teams to exercise options after the 2nd and 3rd seasons. [Sources cited in typical coverage from late 2023 and 2024 discussions of rookie-scale contracts for the Blazers] (Note: exact figures can vary slightly by source due to reporting formats, but the four-year rookie deal with team options is the standard structure.)

For the latest, updated terms (e.g., whether any new guarantees or option exercises have changed, or if there’s any extension or restructuring), you’d want to check the Blazers’ official press releases or reputable sports outlets that track contract details (e.g., Sportrac, Spotrac-equivalent updates, or ESPN/Billboard-style NBA contract trackers). The most recent public references before 2026 generally align with the four-year rookie-scale framework described above, with team options in years 3–4 and guaranteed first two seasons, but specifics can shift if the team exercises or declines options or renegotiates in the current season.
