Israeli NBA player Denny Avdija is on the verge of setting a new record for minutes played by an Israeli in the league. As he prepares to begin his seventh NBA season with the Portland Trail Blazers, Avdija has already surpassed former Israeli NBA player Omri Casspi in several statistical categories. Casspi played ten seasons in the NBA, averaging 20 minutes and 20 seconds over 588 games for a total of 11,959 minutes. Avdija, who has become a key player for Portland, has played 425 games to date, averaging nearly 28 minutes per game, accumulating 11,878 minutes. He is now just 82 minutes away from surpassing Casspi's total minutes played, which would make him the Israeli with the most career minutes in the NBA.
Avdija has also outscored Casspi, with 5,643 points compared to Casspi's 4,642. Additionally, Avdija has recorded more rebounds (2,690 to Casspi's 2,355) and assists (1,450 to Casspi's 662). While Casspi played more seasons, Avdija's significantly higher minutes per game reflect his more prominent role on his teams.
