About Scoot Henderson
Sterling "Scoot" Henderson is an American professional basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played for Carlton J. Kell High School in his hometown of Marietta, Georgia, where he was a five-star recruit. At age 17, Henderson signed with the NBA G League Ignite after graduating early from high school and became the youngest player in G League history. In his second season, he was selected as a captain of the G League Next Up Game. Henderson was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 2023 NBA draft by the Trail Blazers. He is the second youngest of seven siblings, including three sisters who played NCAA Division I basketball, and was nicknamed "Scoot" or "Scoota" because of how he would scoot across the floor as a baby. Henderson was named Class 5A Player of the Year and first-team 5A All-State by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In February 2020, during his sophomore season, Henderson scored a then career-high 49 points and made the game-winning shot in a 92–91 overtime win over Miller Grove High School in the first round of the Class 5A state tournament.
