The Portland Trail Blazers may be getting used to life without Deni Avdija in the lineup.
The team announced that Avdija would miss their next game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a back injury. This comes just one day after Avdija left the contest against the Phoenix Suns less than a minute into the game while holding his back.
In addition to Avdija, the Blazers will be without Damian Lillard, Caleb Love, Shaedon Sharpe, and Yang Hansen against the Timberwolves.
Tip-off between the Blazers and Wolves scheduled for 7 p.m. PT inside the Moda Center in Portland. Fans can watch the game on Rip City Sports Network or stream it on NBA League Pass.
