Deni Avdija
Trail Blazers
Injury
Deni Avdija was a full participant in Monday’s practice, showing progress from the back stiffness that hampered him during the preseason. While his availability for Wednesday’s opener against the Timberwolves remains undecided, his participation in full-contact drills is encouraging. Fantasy managers should consider Avdija a potential high-ceiling option this season, whether he starts or comes off the bench.
