Deni Avdija News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

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.

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.
