Portland Trail Blazers rookie guard Scoot Henderson exited his NBA Summer League debut against the Houston Rockets early due to a right shoulder injury and was ruled out, the team announced.

He'll undergo an MRI but there's optimism it's not a dislocation, league sources told TNT's Chris Haynes.

Henderson, the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft last month, tallied 15 points, six assists, and five rebounds in 21 minutes before leaving the game.

Portland's Summer League roster includes Henderson, second-year guard Shaedon Sharpe, and No. 23 overall pick Kris Murray.

The Blazers have four more games at Summer League, with the next one scheduled against No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
