Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Just misses double-double
Avdija accumulated 19 points (6-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 136-134 victory over the Jazz.
The 24-year-old forward just missed picking up his first double-double of the young season. Avdija is coming off a breakout 2024-25 campaign, but he's been even more productive to begin 2025-26 thanks to increased shot volume. Through five games, he's averaging 22.6 points, 6.4 boards, 4.2 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.0 blocks while attempting 15.8 FGs, including 6.4 threes.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Paces Portland in win
Avdija totaled 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 122-108 win over the Lakers.
Avdija turned in a well-rounded performance Monday, leading the Trail Blazers in scoring with five three-pointers while adding a combined four steals and blocks. The forward has opened the season on fire, reaching or surpassing 20 points in each of Portland's first four games after averaging 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists across 72 regular-season contests last year.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Nets 23 points with full line
Avdija notched 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-107 loss to the Clippers.
Avdija has picked up right where he left off last season, operating as the main man in Portland's offense with a career-high usage rate of 27.9. It's been a career-best start for the 25-year-old forward, who is averaging 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 triples and 3.3 turnovers per contest with 48/37/82 shooting splits, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Leads charge in big win Friday
Avdija finished with 26 points (11-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes during Friday's 139-119 victory over the Warriors.
Eight different Portland players scored in double digits in the rout, with Avdija leading the way. It was an impressive all-around performance by the team in its first game under interim head coach Thiago Splitter, but it remains to be seen how the off-court turmoil surrounding Chauncey Billups will affect the Blazers in the long run. Avdija appears ready to build on his 2024-25 breakout regardless of who's in charge, though, scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back games to begin the current campaign.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Posts 20 points in narrow loss
Avdija posted 20 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
Avdija got off to a fast start with seven points in the first quarter, but his numbers dipped a bit when he shared the court with Jerami Grant, who had a standout game from the bench. The two were locked in a timeshare before Grant's season-ending knee injury last year, and although Grant started in every game he participated in last season, Avdija and Toumani Camara are projected to oust him from the first unit. Avdija is definitely deserving of a starting position due to his apt scoring and encouraging rebound totals.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Will play and start vs. Minnesota
Avdija (back) has been cleared to play against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
After practicing fully Monday, Avdija will be in the first five for the team's season opener. The 24-year-old forward will be joined by Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara (knee) and Donovan Clingan to get the 2025-26 campaign underway.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Back at practice
Avdija (back) practiced fully Monday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
The forward left Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz due to upper back stiffness. However, he was back on the floor Monday, which bodes well for his status in the season opener Wednesday against Minnesota.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Won't return Thursday
Avdija has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz due to upper back stiffness.
Avdija didn't start the second half, and the team announced shortly after that he wouldn't return to the exhibition. Look for Kris Murray and Shaedon Sharpe to see an increase in minutes with Avdija shut down the rest of the way.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Scores 15 in preseason loss
Avdija finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 118-111 preseason loss to the Warriors.
Avdija had a mixed outing Tuesday, committing five turnovers and five fouls but still delivering well-rounded production across the board. The wing averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.0 minutes over 72 regular-season games (54 starts) last season, and he'll look to build on that foundation in his second year with the Trail Blazers.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Poats 15 points in starting role
Avdija produced 15 points (4-9 FG, 6-6 FT, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's 124-123 preseason win over the Kings.
Avdija was back in the starting lineup, which is where he's projected to be when the season begins. Although Jerami Grant will be vying for time at the position, the veteran doesn't fit as well into Portland's youth-focused plans, and the team has already invested a lot of capital to retain Avdija. Right now, the job appears to be his to lose.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Starting Friday
Avdija is in the starting lineup for Friday's exhibition against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Avdija is getting the start ahead of Jerami Grant in this one, which suggests that Grant is headed for a rest day. Joining Avdija in the starting unit will be Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Contributes 14 points from bench
Avdija provided 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 FT, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot over 20 minutes in Wednesday's 129-123 preseason loss to the Warriors.
The fight for minutes among Avdija, Toumani Camara and Jerami Grant will be a familiar refrain throughout the season, and it remains to be seen which direction Chauncey Billups will go. The decision to roll with Grant and Camara over Avdija may be an outlier, and it isn't easy to envision the sixth-year pro riding the bench after making 54 appearances with the first unit last season.

Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: On bench for preseason opener
Avdija will come off the bench for Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups said he'll be trying different lineups throughout the preseason, and Wednesday's starting five doesn't include Avdija. Instead, it'll be Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan. Avdija started in each of his final 42 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.
