Strong performance Tuesday
Avdija had 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 loss to the Hornets.
Análisis
Tuesday was the All-Star forward's second game back from an extended absence with lower-back injury management, so it was encouraging to see Avdija's workload climb back toward his season norm. Over his last 10 appearances, Avdija has averaged 17.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes per game while shooting a pitiful 24.5 percent from downtown.

Shows some rust in return
Avdija (back) amassed 18 points (6-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and three blocks in 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 win over the Pacers.
Análisis
Avdija exhibited some rust in his first appearance since Feb. 22 following a seven-game absence due to a lower back injury management. While playing eight fewer minutes than his season-long average, Avdija struggled to find his shooting touch. In any case, having Avdija back on the court should be considered a win for the Trail Blazers, as he's made just three appearances since the All-Star break due to persistent back problems. Avdija is averaging just 14.0 points while shooting 39.3 percent from the floor since the beginning of February, so the recurring back problems would seem to be a factor in his offensive downturn.

Available Sunday
Avdija (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Análisis
Avdija has effectively missed the last seven games due to a back injury, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Interim head coach Tiago Splitter stated pregame that the team will proceed cautiously with Avdija, so he figures to be monitored closely, likely playing on a minutes restriction.

Listed as questionable
Avdija (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Análisis
After missing the past seven games for Portland, Avdija is trending in the right direction and is officially day-to-day. If he does get the green light to return from his lingering back injury, it's possible he faces restrictions in his first game back.

Won't play Friday
Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Análisis
As expected, Avdija will miss a seventh consecutive game due to a back injury. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Pacers, though the Trail Blazers have not provided a clear timeline for Avdija's return.

Doubtful for Friday
Avdija is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets due to lower-back injury management.
Análisis
Avdija is expected to miss a sixth consecutive contest Friday. The star forward's likely absence Friday should allow Scoot Henderson to claim a more sizable role, whether it be as a starter or a reserve.
