Deni Avdija Injury: Doubtful Friday

Updated on January 23, 2026 at 2:57pm

Avdija (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.

This is a downgrade after coach Tiago Splitter said Thursday night that the forward would be fine -- he failed to return to the game with 10:03 remaining in the third quarter. With Avdija likely to be sidelined Friday, Jerami Grant could see a bump in usage. More minutes could be available for Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert as well.
