EDGE Analysis

Tuesday was the All-Star forward's second game back from an extended absence with lower-back injury management, so it was encouraging to see Avdija's workload climb back toward his season norm. Over his last 10 appearances, Avdija has averaged 17.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes per game while shooting a pitiful 24.5 percent from downtown.
