Is Danny Avdija playing tonight? Blazers vs. Celtics injury report
The Portland Trail Blazers will face the Boston Celtics, and they could be without one of their key players in the match. Danny Avdia missed the Trail Blazers’ previous game against the Toronto Raptors with an injury and is listed on the report with a lower back strain. It’s uncertain if the injury is serious and if he’ll be kept out if necessary, but there probably won’t be much of an update until closer to game time.
Against a team like the Celtics, you’ll need all hands on deck, and hopefully Avdia will be available.

Danny Avdia’s injury status against the Celtics
It’s Avdia listed as suspicious against the Celtics, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to suit up. This is an an injury that has been bothering him for some timeand he just came back from it. Before that, he missed three straight games, then sat out the next two against the Sacramento Kings and the Miami Heat.
Fortunately for the Trail Blazers, they’ve still been able to win games without Avdia, and will likely have to again if he can’t go. The team has relied on their defense to help them stay afloat, and they have players who have stepped up on offense as well. If Avdia has to miss a little more time, they should be in good hands.
The Trail Blazers are currently 23-23 and ninth in the Western Conference and have taken a step up from last season. They give themselves a real chance to make the playoffs, and there’s plenty of time left in the year to try to catch up to the field in front of them.
If Avdia can get back on the field, it would do wonders for them.
