Top Deni Avdija News

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Top rebounder in return to lineup

    Avdija ended with 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 112-119 overtime loss to Brooklyn.

    Avdija missed Washington's last contest with a non-COVID illness, but he returned Wednesday and led all Wizards in rebounds and finished as one of five players with 15 or more points in a double-double performance. Avdija has hauled in 10 or more boards in 14 games this season, finishing with a double-double in all of those outings.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Set to play against Brooklyn

    Avdija (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.

    Avdija will return to action Wednesday after missing Washington's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. With Kyle Kuzma also set to play, Johnny Davis and Patrick Baldwin will likely head back to the bench.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Late addition to injury report

    Avdija is questionable for Monday's game against Chicago due to an illness.

    Avdija being added to the injury report 30 minutes in advance of Monday's contest does not bode well for his status. Washington is dealing with a myriad of injuries, so Justin Champagnie and Corey Kispert headline the healthy wings.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Sitting out Monday

    Avdija (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Chicago.

    Avdija had recently missed three straight games with a right knee contusion, but he played 30-plus minutes in both of Washington's last two contests. He'll now be sidelined for the start of Washington's four-game week due to a new health concern, though Avdija could be ready to return to action Wednesday versus the Nets if his ailment doesn't prove to be too severe. With Avdija and Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) both sidelined Monday, Corey Kispert and Patrick Baldwin will likely serve as Washington's starting forwards.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Leads way with double-double game

    Avdija ended with 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes in Saturday's 112-109 win over Toronto.

    Avdija led all players in Saturday's contest in rebounds while handing out a handful of assists and pacing the Wizards in scoring in a well-rounded performance in a winning effort. Avdija recorded his seventh game of the year with 13 or more rebounds, and he has added at least 20 points in four of those outings. He has now tallied at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in four contests.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Posts well-rounded line in return

    Avdija (knee) recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes in Thursday's 109-102 win over the Kings.

    Avdija's poor free-throw shooting and lack of contributions in the two defensive categories might have limited the overall impact of his final line, but he exceeded his season-long averages in points, three-pointers, rebounds and assists to pay dividends for those that included him in fantasy lineups in his return from a three-game absence. With the Wizards sitting at 12-58 and having little on the line over the final three-plus weeks of the season, Avdija could be in store for more time off down the stretch. When available to play, however, Avdija should continue to handle a 30-plus-minute role.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Available for Thursday's game

    Avdija (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings.

    Avdija was questionable for Thursday's matchup, but he'll put an end to his three-game absence. He's averaged 16.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 34.1 minutes per game over seven appearances in March, but it's unclear whether he'll have any limitations during his first game back in action.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Iffy against Sacramento

    Avdija (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Kings.

    Avdija is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Thursday due to a right knee contusion. If Avdija is ruled out, Justin Champagnie, Patrick Baldwin and Johnny Davis will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Will remain out Tuesday

    Avdija (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Avdija is slated to miss a third straight game due to a right knee contusion. Marvin Bagley (back), Bilal Coulibaly (wrist), Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) also remain out, but Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't listed. Kuzma and Jordan Poole will presumably lead the shorthanded Wizards on Tuesday, while Avdija's next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus the Kings.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Downgraded to out

    Avdija (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    As expected, Avdija has been downgraded from doubtful to out, joining Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) as inactive. Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) and Bilal Coulibaly (wrist) are questionable, so Washington is in danger of being extremely shorthanded versus the best team in the NBA. Avdija's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Rockets.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Downgraded to doubtful

    Avdija (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Boston.

    Avdija appears on track to miss his second consecutive game due to a right knee bruise. He joins a lengthy list of injured Wizards on Sunday, including Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) who are inactive, as well as Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) and Bilal Coulibaly (wrist), who are questionable.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Late scratch for Saturday

    Avdija has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls with a right knee contusion.

    The Wizards initially cleared Avdija to play, only to make him a late scratch shortly before the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. With Avdija sidelined, the Wizards will start Corey Kispert in his place. Washington could get Avdija back for the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday versus the Celtics.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Good to go Saturday

    Avdija (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

    Avdija has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a right knee contusion. Avdija is averaging 17.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Iffy against Chicago

    Avdija (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

    Avdija suffered a right knee contusion against the Rockets but seems to have avoided a serious injury. If the 22-year-old forward is unable to suit up Saturday, Johnny Davis and Corey Kispert are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Nursing sore knee

    Avdija said after Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Rockets that he exited late in the fourth quarter of the game due to a sore left knee, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. "I feel like I kind of avoided something severe, and I'm happy about that. That's all that matters," Avdija said.

    Avdija left the game three seconds after he turned the ball over when he landed awkwardly on the foot of Rockets defender Fred VanVleet. The Wizards were trailing by 15 points with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter at the time he exited, so Avdija's removal may have been precautionary more than anything else. The forward still saw a healthy workload in spite of the early exit, finishing with 24 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three steals in 36 minutes. Avdija seemed confident that he avoided a serious issue Thursday, but he should still be viewed as questionable for Saturday's game in Chicago until the Wizards provide an update on his condition.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Just misses double-double Thursday

    Avdija chipped in 24 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Rockets.

    After scoring between 14 and 18 points over the prior seven games, Avdija broke through for his first 20-plus performance since the All-Star break. The fourth-year forward has four double-doubles during that stretch and missed adding another Thursday, and his breakout campaign shows no signs of slowing down significantly. Across 16 contests since the beginning of February, Avdija's averaging 18.7 points, 9.0 boards, 2.9 assists and 1.6 threes while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor and 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Records double-double Friday

    Avdija recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 112-100 victory over the Hornets.

    Avdija has looked good in his return to action following a three-game absence due to a left heel contusion, scoring in double digits in each of his last five appearances and racking up three double-doubles in that span. Avdija is having a career-best season in his first year as a full-time starter, posting career-high numbers in points (13.8), rebounds (6.8) and assists (3.7) per game.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Double-double in Utah

    Avdija logged 16 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Jazz.

    The double-double was the 10th of the season for Avdija and his second in three games since returning from a heel injury. The fourth-year forward is finally developing into the player the Wizards were hoping to get when they selected him ninth overall in the 2020 Draft. Over 11 contests since the beginning of February, Avdija is averaging 19.2 points, 9.1 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent (22-for-48) from long distance.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Posts 14 points in loss

    Avdija racked up 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 140-115 loss to the Clippers.

    Avdija is dealing with a heel issue that caused him to miss three games, but he came off the injury report and played a second consecutive game with the ailment. Avdija was running hot before the All-Star break, and fantasy managers should expect an upward trend as he gets further away from the injury.
