Avdija Exits Early Versus Suns With Back Issue
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Deni Avdija’s attempt to suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night only lasted 59 seconds of game action.
On Portland’s second offensive possession in Phoenix, Avdija’s back appeared to lock up again after he backed down Suns guard Ryan Dunn in the post and passed the ball out to Donovan Clingan. There was minimal contact on the play, but Avdija immediately reached for his lower back in noticeable discomfort and walked toward the Blazers bench as the Suns went down the floor on offense. Portland forward Jerami Grant committed an intentional foul to stop play, and Avdija checked out at the 11:01 mark of the first quarter.
