From being questionable, the Israeli star was ultimately listed as unavailable in the team's upcoming home matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This would mark the sixth absence of Avdija in the last 10 games as he continues to get bothered by his lower-back strain.

Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love are slated to obtain more exposure under interim coach Tiago Splitter with Avdija out.

Averaging a career-high 25.5 points, 7.2 boards and 6.7 assists, Avdija was recently announced as an NBA All-Star - his first in his rising career.
