Professional career edit

After the Italian jobs dried up, Henderson's next stop was Qatar. On November 1, 2014, he signed with Al Rayyan Doha of the Qatari Basketball League.[9] A week later, he was a member of the 2014 Arab Club Championship team, where he earned MVP honors.[10] His stint with Al Rayyan lasted until January 2015, with his last game for the club coming on December 31. In nine league games for Al Rayyan, he averaged 17.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.[11]
In mid-February 2015, Henderson signed a $10,000 per month contract with Naft Al-Janoob of the Iraqi Division I Basketball League.[12]

Off-court issues edit
In the spring of 2012, Henderson spent time in jail stemming from a 2010 forgery charge. Henderson used $800 of counterfeit money to buy marijuana in 2009 and was caught. He spent 25 days in jail as a result. However, the reason he wasn't jailed until mid-2012 for a charge stemming from 2010 is that he violated his probation in January 2012, having tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and alcohol in Tarrant County, Texas.[22]
On May 12, 2014, Henderson came under fire on Twitter when he posted a pair of homophobic tweets, targeting openly-gay NFL player Michael Sam. He later claimed that his tweets were part of a social media psychology experiment for a gay friend and Psychology student.[23]
