Trail Blazers PR: INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Scoot Henderson are OUT for tonight’s game vs. PHX.
Sean Highkin: Scoot is officially upgraded to "Doubtful" for tomorrow -- which, following the pattern for Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant coming back from long-term injuries, likely means he doesn't play tomorrow but does play Friday. Deni Avdija is also doubtful.
Joe Freeman: Injury notes tonight for the Blazers, according to Tiago Splitter: •Blake Wesley will return tonight vs. the Cavaliers, playing in his first game since Halloween. •Deni Avdija is expected to play. •Scoot Henderson should make his season-debut "very, very soon."
Omri Casspi: Deni, immense pride! Seeing the path you’ve taken, the hard work and perseverance — you deserve this. Enjoy every moment on that stage, you’re proof that the sky’s the limit. And this is just the beginning… :)
Sean Highkin: Deni is out, actually.

Sean Highkin: Blake Wesley is officially in. Deni Avdija is “probably” playing per Tiago Splitter.
Shams Charania: 2026 NBA West All-Star reserves: Anthony Edwards, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Deni Avdija, LeBron James.
And Deni Avdija endured perhaps his worst game in an All-Star-worthy season, making just 4 of 14 shots, including 1 of 6 three, on the way to a season-low 11 points. He finished with more turnovers (four) than assists (three). Avdija, who had missed five of the previous eight games with a lower back strain, didn’t look close to 100% and Splitter said afterward that he and Blazers trainers would have to huddle with the team’s star to “figure out what’s going on.” “I don’t know if it’s mental,” Splitter told reporters. “Physically, he’s not 100%. He’s not driving with the same force.”
Trail Blazers PR: INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Robert Williams III are AVAILABLE to play tonight @ NYK.
Sean Highkin: Deni Avdija is once again listed as "Questionable" for today against the Wizards. Tiago Splitter said last night that he expects him to play. Programming note: My flight to DC was cancelled so I'm stranded in Boston today and going to New York tomorrow.
