Deni Avdija Injury Status vs. Grizzlies
Given that Deni Avdija's injury report is questionable, it is difficult to predict whether he will sit out for the second consecutive game. Avdija and Henderson remain on the injury report these days, as Denny missed the Blazers' first game this week following his first career All-Star selection. Henderson is expected to make his season debut in Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
The Blazers will try to snap a six-game losing streak on Friday. After winning four consecutive games, capped off with an emphatic 127–110 win over the Miami Heat, the team began a six-game slump with losses to the Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, New York Knicks, and, most recently, the Phoenix Suns.
With Henderson back and potentially Avdija, the Blazers will look to get back into the win column in Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies. Averaging 25.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists on 46.7/35.6/80.0 shooting splits, Avdija will look to avoid his third consecutive absence amid the best season of his career.
As for whether Deni Avdija is playing tonight against the Grizzlies, the answer is probably.
