Israeli player Deni Avdija has concluded his NBA preseason games with the Portland Trail Blazers, generating significant optimism for the upcoming season. In four preparatory matches, Avdija averaged an impressive 17.5 points in just 21.5 minutes per game, demonstrating strong shooting efficiency, improved confidence from beyond the arc, and overall court presence.
While preseason games are primarily for team cohesion and experimentation, Avdija's performance has been a clear statement of intent for both him and the Trail Blazers. His averages across the four games included 17.5 points, 5 rebounds, and over 3 assists, showcasing his significant contribution in limited minutes.
His preseason highlights included a 23-point performance against the Golden State Warriors, where he shot 69.2% from the field and 50% from three-point range. Another notable game against the Sacramento Kings saw him score a preseason-high 26 points with efficient shooting and near double-double numbers, alongside defensive contributions. Even in a less accurate shooting night against the Warriors, where he scored 12 points, Avdija remained impactful with rebounds, assists, steals, and a high defensive intensity.
The Portland Trail Blazers will begin their official NBA season against the Phoenix Suns this coming Thursday.
