The Portland Trail Blazers are getting their all-star back.
Deni Avidja will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers after missing the last seven games with a back injury.
He last played on Feb. 22 but exited after just one minute due to the ailment.
The 25-year-old is enjoying a breakout season, averaging a career-high 24.4 points on 46.3 per cent shooting. He's also posting seven rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.
Avidja has guided the Blazers to the final play-in spot in the West, and he could get them back to the post-season for the first time since 2020-21.
