Limited output in All-Star debut Avdija (back) played 15 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt),...

Impact Avdija had missed the Trail Blazers' most recent game Thursday against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management, but the issue didn't prevent him from making his first career All-Star appearance. The 25-year-old forward started in both games for Team World but saw light usage while the offense ran through the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama. While playing in just six of the Trail Blazers' final 16 games prior to the All-Star break, Avdija had eclipsed 30 minutes on just one occasion. However, with some extra time to recover during the break, Avdija could have his minutes restriction lifted ahead of Portland's next game Friday versus the Nuggets.

Will play in All-Star Game Avdija (back) will play in Sunday's All-Star Game.

Impact Avdija missed Portland's win over the Jazz on Thursday due to injury management in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though he's set to make his first All-Star appearance Sunday for Team World. Additionally, he should be good to go for the Trail Blazers' game against the Nuggets on Friday. Through 46 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, the 2020 first-rounder is averaging 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 34.3 minutes per game.

Ruled out Thursday Avdija (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Avdija will miss Portland's final matchup before the All-Star break due to load management. Sidy Cissoko should be in line for a sizable increase in minutes Thursday as a result.

Questionable for Thursday Avdija is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management.

Impact The Trail Blazers are considering giving the All-Star forward load management for the final contest prior to the All-Star break. Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejci would be candidates for an expanded role in the event that Avdija sits out Thursday.

Hits for 26 points in victory Avdija produced 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 135-118 win over the 76ers.

Impact The Trail Blazers look like contenders when Avdija is in the lineup, and although the team was led by a career night from Toumani Camara, Avdija logged a brilliant night in his return to action. The standout should get the rest he needs during the All-Star break, and his full participation will enhance Portland's odds of snagging a postseason opportunity.

Good to go Monday Avdija (back) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Avdija will return to action after missing the past four games due to a lower-back strain. Injuries have impacted the wing's availability as of late, but his production has remained strong when available, as the 25-year-old is averaging 26.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists over his past 10 appearances. With Avdija back in the lineup, Sidy Cissoko is likely to revert to a bench role Monday.

Sitting Friday Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Officially questionable Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Portland has officially added Avdija to the injury report as questionable, though it's hard to ignore the fact that the team noted earlier in the day he's unlikely to play Friday after going through Thursday's practice. The Blazers should have more clarity on Avdija's availability closer to tipoff.

Doubtful for Friday Avdija (back) practiced Thursday, but is unlikely to play Friday against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
