Avdija (back) is still uncertain to play as he was listed as doubtful on the Blazers' initial injury report against the Hawks.
It remains to be seen if Deni Avdija will return to the hardwood sooner rather than later.
Portland Trail Blazers / Schedule
The Portland Trail Blazers released their initial injury report ahead of their Thursday home showcase against the Atlanta Hawks. Avdija was listed as doubtful to play due to his lingering back injury.
Avdija missed his first game of the season in the team's 119-97 brutal loss against the Golden State Warriors. He originally sustained his lower back soreness against the New York Knicks last Sunday.
The Portland star dismissed negativity about his back injury after Tiago Splitter expressed concerns about it.
The Blazers can only hope that Avdija will finally be healthy and on track for a potential return. He has been on a sensational season, averaging 26.1 points, 7.1 boards and 6.9 assists.
Out of Avdija's brilliance, the Blazers are currently No. 9 in the West with a 19-22 record.
