Deni Avdija Confirmed Out for Thursday's Game with Back Injury

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) has been confirmed out for Thursday's game against the Hawks. This update was expected, as he previously carried a doubtful tag. Avdija is now considered day-to-day moving forward. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) likely returning to the lineup, he could absorb a significant portion of Avdija's usual minutes.
