Drops 30 points in return Avdija finished Sunday's 117-110 win over the Kings with 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes.

Impact Avdija was given the green light to return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a lower-back strain. The injury didn't appear to bother the sixth-year pro, who led both teams in scoring while recording his 12th 30-point-plus performance of the season. Portland doesn't play its next game until Thursday against Miami, so Avdija will have additional time to recover ahead of that contest.

Could return Sunday Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Avdija has been sidelined for the Trail Blazers' last three games due to a lower back strain. He had previously been listed as doubtful for those games, so the fact he's now listed as questionable indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Jrue Holiday (calf) is listed as doubtful, and if he and Avdija were to be sidelined for Sunday's contest, then Caleb Love would likely step into Portland's starting lineup.
