Avdija (back) is set to return after a three-game absence for Portland.
The Portland Trail Blazers are slated to embrace the highly-anticipated return of Deni Avdija this Sunday.
The Blazers officially revealed on their final injury report against the Sacramento Kings that Avdija (back) is available and ready to play.
Avdija has missed the last three games for the Blazers after suffering from a lower back strain. Yet despite his absence, Portland went 2-1 on the given stretch.
With their franchise star back in the lineup, the Blazers will be even better again. Avdija is enjoying a meteoric campaign this 2025-26 season, averaging a career-high 26.1 points and 6.9 assists along with 7.1 rebounds in 40 games played.
As a result of his brilliance, the Blazers are on the rise as a 9th seed in the West with a 21-22 record.
A potential win in Sacramento will pull Avdija and the Blazers above the .500 win mark, keeping themselves competent in the Conference race.
