The Blazers subsequently announced he will not return to the game.
Avdija willed himself into the game despite being initially marked as questionable due to his back issues.
As such, it appeared that he reaggravated his back complications in just the opening minute of the game after attempting a post-up play.
This season, he is averaging 25.0 points, 7.2 boards and 6.8 assists.
Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko are set for added exposure with Avdija sidelined against Phoenix.
