Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Portland has officially added Avdija to the injury report as questionable, though it's hard to ignore the fact that the team noted earlier in the day he's unlikely to play Friday after going through Thursday's practice. The Blazers should have more clarity on Avdija's availability closer to tipoff.

Avdija (back) practiced Thursday, but he is unlikely to play Friday against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so while Avdija is expected to sit out the first game, there's a chance he could return for Saturday's rematch with Memphis. Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko will continue to pick up the slack while Avdija is out.

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.

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.

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.

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.
