Fantasy Impact:
Avdija suffered a back injury late in Sunday’s 123-114 loss to the New York Knicks after landing awkwardly while securing a rebound. The injury has been labeled lower back soreness, though he is still undergoing evaluation, and it will mark the first game he has missed this season. His next opportunity to play comes Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. With Avdija sidelined and Jerami Grant (Achilles) doubtful, Sidy Cissoko, Toumani Camara and Robert Williams III are expected to be relied on heavily, while Shaedon Sharpe could become the focal point of the offense.
