Avdija (back) practiced Thursday, but he is unlikely to play Friday against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Friday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so while Avdija is expected to sit out the first game, there's a chance he could return for Saturday's rematch with Memphis. Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko will continue to pick up the slack while Avdija is out.
