Deni Avdija Enters 2026-27 Fresh Off a 24-Point Season in Portland

Trail Blazers Nightly Desk · 11 h ago

Deni Avdija heads into the 2026-27 season as a Portland Trail Blazer, coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists over 66 games. He is not on the injury report, and there are no trade rumors attached to his name right now.

Where Avdija Stands Right Now

Deni Avdija heads into the 2026-27 season with the Portland Trail Blazers, the same team he played for a year ago. He wears No. 8, stands 6-8 and weighs 228 pounds, and plays forward. He's 25 years old and entering his sixth NBA season, after coming up through Maccabi Tel Aviv. Right now he is not on the injury report, and there is no injury history listed for him, so there's no health concern attached to his name heading into the year. There are also no trade rumors circulating about him at this point. Based on the role he carried last season, Portland is expected to lean on him again as one of its top options on both ends of the floor.

The 2025-26 Season by the Numbers

Avdija's 2025-26 season, the most recent full campaign on record, was a strong one. He played 66 games, averaging 33.3 minutes, 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks, with 3.8 turnovers a game. He shot 46.2 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from three-point range, and 80.2 percent from the free-throw line, which added up to a true shooting mark of 60.0 percent. His usage rate sat at 28.5 percent, a sign he was a focal point of Portland's offense last season. His plus-minus for the season came in at 0.2. All of that production came with Portland, the same team listed for him last season and the one he's on now.

Injury Report

Heading into 2026-27, Avdija is not on the injury report. There is no injury history listed for him, meaning there's nothing on record pointing to missed time from injury in recent seasons. That clean bill of health lines up with the workload he carried in 2025-26, when he played in 66 games and logged 33.3 minutes a night, a heavy workload for a forward who was also handling significant playmaking duties, reflected in his 6.7 assists per game. If that trend holds, Avdija should be available for Portland from the start of the 2026-27 season.

How Last Season Ended

Avdija's final stretch of games in 2025-26 mixed big scoring nights with a rough finish for the team. On April 2 he had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in a win over New Orleans. He followed with 26 points in a loss to Denver, then 29 points in a loss to San Antonio. His best night of the stretch came on April 10, when he scored 35 points in a win over the Clippers, then he added 25 points and 10 assists in a win over Sacramento two games later. After that, Portland lost four of its last five games, all four of those losses coming against San Antonio, even as Avdija kept producing: 30 points and 10 rebounds on April 19, 14 points in a win on April 21, then 19, 26 and 22 points to close out the run against the Spurs.

Looking Ahead to 2026-27

Portland heads into the 2026-27 season with Avdija in the fold at No. 8, and there's no game log yet for the new season in his file. Based on the role he played in 2025-26 — a 28.5 usage rate, 24.2 points and 6.7 assists a night — he projects as one of Portland's primary scoring and playmaking options again this year. He is not on the injury report, and no trade rumors are attached to his name right now, so as of today the expectation is that he opens the season in a Trail Blazers uniform.
