Deni Avdija News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Poor shooting performance Avdija finished with 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Saturday's 125-103 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Avdija struggled to make a significant impact beyond scoring, finishing with just one assist while committing three turnovers. His 24-minute workload was also relatively modest, though that may have to do with how the game unfolded rather than an upcoming reduction in his role. Avdija should remain a key offensive player for the Trail Blazers, and this was just a down game in a matchup where Portland looked surpassed on both ends of the court.

Sniffs triple-double in loss Avdija racked up 22 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-14 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 124-118 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Avdija came one rebound short of a triple-double, tied Damian Lillard for the team lead in scoring and finished with a game-high 11 assists. The downside was eight turnovers. He's still the hub of the Blazers' offense, and Portland's strong 6-2 start runs largely through him.

Teases triple-double against Suns Avdija ended with 21 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds and 12 assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 132-119 win over Phoenix.

Impact The 25-year-old forward came a few boards shy of his first triple-double of the season, and the sixth of his career. Avdija has scored more than 20 points in six straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.3 points, 6.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 threes despite shooting just 29.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Drops season-high 28 points in win Avdija tallied 28 points (10-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 118-110 victory over Denver.

Impact The 28 points are a season-high for Avdija, who's now scored at least 23 in five consecutive games. The 25-year-old continued handling primary offensive responsibilities with Ja Morant (hamstring) sidelined, a trend that is likely to continue for as long as the first-year Blazer remains out. The only downside to Avdija's fantasy profile is his inefficiency at the free throw line, as he's now missed three or more of his attempts in five straight regular-season outings.

Hits for game-high 24 in win Avdija posted 24 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-13 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-90 win over Utah.

Impact Avdija led all scorers on the afternoon as he dropped at least 23 points for a fourth straight game. The 25-year-old forward is finding chemistry quickly with his new point guard Damian Lillard, and during that four-game stretch Avdija's averaged 24.3 points, 6.3 boards, 6.0 assists and 1.8 threes in 33.5 minutes.

Strong start continues Avdija chipped in 24 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 loss to Memphis.

Impact The star forward is off to an excellent start this season, having produced at least 18 points, four rebounds and four assists in each of his first four appearances. Ja Morant's (hamstring) status is in limbo following Thursday's defeat, so Avdija may have to do the heavy lifting offensively if Morant needs to miss time.

Logs team-high 23 points Avdija notched 23 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 win over the Lakers.

Impact Avdija tied Morant for the team lead in scoring and nearly posted a double-double with nine assists, including a big three down the stretch. The forward has been the engine of Portland's 3-0 start, and with Shaedon Sharpe (knee) sidelined, the Blazers are leaning heavily on his playmaking. He'll look to keep it rolling Thursday at home against Memphis.

Impact Avdija led Portland in scoring, adding six rebounds and six assists as the Trail Blazers moved to 2-0. He was a game-time decision with a right ankle injury before Wednesday's opener, but he logged a team-high 38 minutes Friday, so the ankle doesn't look like a lingering problem. Last season's breakout star remains the focal point of the offense even with Damian Lillard and Ja Morant now in the backcourt.

OCTOBER 24 • Associated Press

Double-double in season opener Avdija closed Wednesday's 124-83 victory over Phoenix with 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

Impact Damian Lillard celebrated his return to Portland with a game-high 25 points, but Avdija was plenty productive as well, delivering the game's only double-double. The 25-year-old forward is coming off a career-best 2025-26 campaign that saw him score 24.2 points with 6.9 boards, 6.7 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 combined steals and blocks, and while the Blazers offense will now flow through the duo of Lillard and Ja Morant in the backcourt, it's encouraging that in Avdija's first game alongside them, his shot volume didn't take a big dip from the 16.1 FG attempts he averaged last season.

Good to go Wednesday Avdija (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

Impact Avdija will shed his questionable tag due to right ankle soreness and suit up for Portland's regular-season opener. The star forward is coming off a career year in 2025-26, when he averaged 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.4 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 66 regular-season outings.
