Won't return Sunday
Avdija (back) won't return to Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analisi
Avdija aggravated a preexisting back injury less than a minute into Sunday's game and will not return. Scoot Henderson, Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko are candidates for increased minutes with Avdija sidelined. His status for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves is now in question.

Heads to locker room Sunday
Avdija headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Suns after appearing to tweak his back, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analisi
Avdija, who came into the game nursing a back injury, appeared to aggravate the injury less than a minute into the game before exiting for the locker room. If he is unable to return, Scoot Henderson, Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko could see extra minutes.

Available to play
Avdija (back) is available for Sunday's game in Phoenix.
Analisi
Avdija will push through the pain with the back issue and make himself available for Sunday's game. Portland's All-Star is averaging 25.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.2 triples per game this season.

Questionable for Sunday
Avdija is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Phoenix due to lower-back injury management.
Analisi
Avdija has been dealing with a lingering back injury since mid-January and could be held out of Sunday's contest. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko and Kris Murray would be candidates for increased playing time. Avdija has appeared in just three outings this month, during which he has averaged 17.3 points, 8.0 assists and 7.7 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per tilt.

Teases triple-double against Denver
Avdija contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and 13 assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 157-103 loss to the Nuggets.
Analisi
The game was never competitive, but Avdija still put together a strong performance as he came a couple of dimes short of his fourth triple-double of the season. The 25-year-old forward sat out the final game before the All-Star break due to a sore back, an issue that's been bothering him since mid-January, but he's remained productive when he's been on the court. Over his last seven appearances dating back to Jan. 18, Avdija is averaging 18.6 points, 7.9 boards, 6.0 assists and 1.4 threes in 27.6 minutes.
