- ICYMI, wrote about Deni Avdija, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:
- Deni Avdija is now an All-Star. But just 3 years ago he was unsure about his future in the league. “Do I really belong here?” he’d ask himself. I spoke to Avdija about that journey, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

- Also, here's a picture of the All-Star Saturday Night hoop Avdija had hanging on his childhood bedroom in Israel
- That picture is from a story I did on Avdija in 2019 for @bleachereport.bsky.social where I spent a few days with Avdija in Israel. You can read that full story here: bleacherreport.com/articles/286...
- And if you want to see how far Avdija has come, here's a video of him trying to dunk from when he was younger
- Deni Avdija's reaction to the Wizards trading him for two first round picks? “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot. And seeing that, it was like, ‘They really believe in me, they really want me.’” Wrote about Avdija's breakout, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...
