The Portland Trail Blazers made history on Saturday night by starting five rookies in their game against the Denver Nuggets. This rare occurrence marked only the second time in over 50 years that an NBA team has fielded an entire starting lineup of rookies. The last time this happened was back on April 26, 2012, when the Golden State Warriors took on the San Antonio Spurs.

Scoot Henderson, the No. 3 pick in the draft, led the group of rookies for the Trail Blazers, joined by Duop Reath, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, and Rayan Rupert. This lineup decision was a bold move by the Trail Blazers, who are currently struggling with the second-worst record in the Western Conference.
