Avdija Officially Questionable for Friday with Back Issue, Unlikely to Play

Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) practiced Thursday but is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, though he's considered unlikely to play. This is the first of a back-to-back set, with a possibility of returning for Saturday's rematch against Memphis. Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko are anticipated to see increased minutes in his absence.
