The Portland Trail Blazers have moved guard Scoot Henderson out of the starting lineup for their matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, replacing him in the lineup with wing Sidy Cissoko.
Henderson has struggled to start the season, averaging 8.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.6 turnovers and 22.3 minutes per game while shooting 32.9% from the field and 16.7% on 3-pointers through nine games. Henderson began the season in a reserve role, but had moved into the starting lineup for the past five games after the hamstring injury to Ja Morant.
In nine appearances off the bench this season, Cissoko has averaged 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 21.3 minutes per game while shooting 47.2% from the field and 33.3% on 3-pointers.
The Blazers are scheduled to tip off against the Thunder at about 8:10 p.m. PST at the Moda Center. The Blazers will also play the Thunder again at home on Wednesday at 7 p.m. PST.
