Production hitting a wall Avdalas supplied five points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 72-58 loss to Duke.

Impact Despite some previous pro experience overseas, Avdalas appears to be hitting a bit of a freshman wall in the heat of conference play. Over the first 17 games of the year, the 6-9 point forward was averaging 14.2 ppg on 41.9 percent shooting, to go along with 5.1 assists per contest. In his last five games, however, Avdalas is averaging only 6.8 ppg on 21.6 percent shooting, and the assists have fallen to 4.0 apg. It may be a tough week to deploy Avdalas in fantasy considering he has just one scheduled game Saturday against a pretty tough NC State defense.

Available at Wake Avdalas (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Wake Forest, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Previously probable, Avdalas' injury tag was a precautionary measure going into Virginia Tech's first game of the 2026 calendar year. During the 2025 part of VT's ongoing season, he logged 14.8 points and 2.0 three-pointers made per game. Without a good chunk of the Hokies' players available during their 2025 finale against Virginia, a matchup that went into triple overtime, Avdalas scored 17 (three three-pointers made) and recorded eight rebounds.

Probable at Wake Forest Avdalas (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

Impact Avdalas missed the Hokies' matchup against Elon on Dec. 20 with an illness, but he was able to return to the court in the team's most recent game versus Virginia. The freshman point guard should be good to go at Wake Forest, but it's unknown if it's the same illness keeping him on the injury report. His true status will be determined prior to tip-off, but it's currently trending in the right direction.

Available vs. Virginia Avdalas (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Virginia, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Just before Virginia Tech returned to conference action, a physical illness briefly took Avdalas out of action, but it was only one game. The freshman, a projected first-round selection of the 2026 NBA Draft, has backed up his stock with 14.6 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers made on 44.4/37.1/68.1 shooting splits across 12 starts. Avdalas' return comes at a crucial time, with the Hokies not only returning to conference action but also considering their injury list spans at least several players, meaning he may have to shoulder a lot more work against Virginia.
