Avdija, who was listed as questionable before the game but chose to play, exited the contest early after aggravating his ongoing lower back issues. The 25-year-old international guard has been battling back problems for weeks.
Prior to exiting, Avdija was having another strong performance, continuing his season averages of 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. The Trail Blazers will monitor his status moving forward as they continue their season.
