Leads team from bench
Henderson registered 22 points (7-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 loss to the Warriors.
Analysis
It was surprising to see Henderson on the bench to begin the game, but the team elected to start Anfernee Simons and Toumani Camara in the backcourt. The Trail Blazers made a huge investment with Henderson, and it seems unlikely that he'll be on the bench for long. Coming out of the G League, Henderson is still developing, but Portland has a better chance at notching some wins with Henderson as a starter.

Not starting opener
Henderson isn't part of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Golden State, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Analysis
Henderson's absence from the starting lineup comes as a little bit of a surprise, as the second-year guard was speculated to start alongside Anfernee Simons in the Portland backcourt. However, the Trail Blazers are opting to slide Simons to the point guard spot while Toumani Camara fills the two-spot. Despite his reserve status, Henderson should see 20-plus minutes against the Warriors. It's unclear if Henderson will come off the bench regularly or if his omission from the first unit was due to the matchup against Golden State.

Option picked up
The Trail Blazers picked up Henderson's third-year team option Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Analysis
No surprise here, as the No. 3 pick in last year's NBA Draft remains a pillar in Portland's plans going forward. However, he did struggle during his rookie campaign, shooting 38.5 percent from the field and committing 3.4 turnovers per game. Still, the point guard flashed promising signs as the season progressed, averaging 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.3 triples across the final 14 games of the regular season. He is expected to start alongside Anfernee Simons in the backcourt this season.

Not starting Friday
Henderson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale versus the Jazz, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Analysis
Portland is going with Anfernee Simons at point guard alongside Toumani Camara to complete its starting backcourt. Once the regular season tips off, Hendrson is expected to start at point, while Simons plays the two-guard.
