    Which make sense, considering this was posted 10 days ago

    Weird how the thread got bumped at the top of the list but the last post is 10 days old, huh ? :breakdance:

    That was referring to Kemba Walker injuring his achilles back in 2014. Nothing anywhere regarding Henderson having an injury with his achilles.

    Thats not how that reads to me. Since it was an article from a month ago. It said he met with Henderson in OKC which makes perfect sense because they played in OKC november 23rd. I couldnt find anything else about Henderson either but, it reads to me like Henderson has the achilles issue.

    Well I did find something eventually and it appears he did hurt his achilles. Here is a radio podcast. Amazing such little info on it.

    The article makes it sound like it happened in a work out to a guy who wasnt under contract to play and had been out of the NBA for a year. I agree in part but I also dont think theres an article for every injury in that situation. If he was still an NBA player we’d know. That could be part of why no one seems interested in signing him though.

    You missed my amended post, but in today's multi media craze it still seems strange no articles. Hoopshype has had all sorts of articles on ex players all the time and with Henderson looking to get back in the NBA it would seem like a logical reason for an update on this sort of thing. Too bad for Henderson as I really liked him when he was here. If he hadn't had the hip surgery, it wouldn't have surprised me that Olshey would have gone after him instead of Stauskas. Hopefully he can recover in get back in the game.

    I really liked Henderson, played smart but with good energy.
    Also you're right I didn't see your amended post.

    Henderson has essentially missed two years and is in his 30s. Good for him if he gets another chance in the nba, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

    Grant Hill?

    Henderson just turned 31 so if he can get himself healthy sometime this year or in the off season, no reason he can't play a few more years.

    Henderson was never anything more than a fringe starter. I doubt anyone in the league is keeping tabs on him. Guys like him get forgotten about quick. Take Afflalo for example. And he’s not coming off a hip replacement or whatever Henderson had.

    Teams are always looking for veterans, especially at the vet minimum so the market is there and Henderson is a high IQ type player similar to a Trevor Ariza.

    Teams aren’t looking for 31 year olds that haven’t played in two years, especially not in the middle of a season.

    And you know this how? Nobody in this forum would know what teams are looking for.
