Deni Avdija Ruled Out for Monday's Game with Lower-Back Strain

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics. This marks his second consecutive missed contest due to a lower-back strain. His next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Wizards. Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see an uptick in minutes in Avdija's absence.
