Avdija (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Avdija was previously labeled as doubtful. With Portland's star forward likely to miss his second straight game, more minutes will be available for guys like Sidy Cissoko, Jerami Grant and Robert Williams. Avdija's next chance to play will come Friday against Memphis.

Avdija (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija was held out of Sunday's matchup due to a lower-back strain, and he doesn't appear on track to return Tuesday. Sidy Cissoko, Jerami Grant and Robert Williams would be in line for opportunities if Avdija is ultimately downgraded to out.

Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
There was optimism that Avdija would be able to shed his questionable tag and suit up, but a lower-back strain will keep the forward sidelined Sunday. For the injury-riddled Trail Blazers, Jerami Grant, Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert are candidates for increased opportunities in Avdija's absence. Avdija's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Suns.

Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija continues to pop up on the injury report due to a lower-back strain and is in jeopardy of missing his sixth contest in a 10-game span. If the star forward joins Jrue Holiday (personal) on the sidelines, Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love would be candidates for increased playing time.

Avdija (back) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija will shed his questionable tag due to a lower-back strain and suit up for a second straight outing. The 25-year-old forward has appeared in just five of Portland's last 10 games due to the back injury, averaging 22.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.0 minutes per game during that span.

Avdija is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to a lower-back strain.
EDGE Analysis
The star forward recently missed two games with the injury, so Portland is continuing to monitor his health. If Avdija can't give it a go Friday, Sidy Cissoko would likely jump into the starting lineup. More playing time would also be available for Caleb Love off the bench.

Avdija (back) ended Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Wizards with 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the prior two games due to back trouble, Avdija returned to action against his former club and looked fully healthy en route to notching his 13th double-double of the season. The breakout star has drained at least one three-pointer in every game he's played since the beginning of December, averaging 25.8 points, 7.7 assists, 7.4 boards, 2.1 triples and 1.0 steals over his last 23 contests.

Avdija (back) is good to go for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija is set to return from a two-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely result in Sidy Cissoko heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer opportunities on offense for Caleb Love with Avdija active.

Avdija (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija has missed the past two games for Portland, including the front end of this back-to-back set Monday. However, coach Tiago Splitter did say the plan is for the forward to return Tuesday. The questionable tag suggests that he will still need to get through warmups without any setbacks before he is given the green light.

Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Avdija will miss his second consecutive contest due to a lower-back strain, though interim head coach Tiago Splitter said the plan is for him to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set Tuesday against the Wizards, per Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland. With the 25-year-old forward unavailable Monday, Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.
