Being on a rookie scale contract, Avdija does not want to lose any money for criticizing the referees to the media, but his feelings are well known.

The Wizards view Avdija as their second best defender after Delon Wright and often task him with the hardest defensive assignment from the opposing team, but that does not always lead to consistent minutes. Corey Kispert and Kendrick Nunn eat into late game minutes for Avdija when Wes Unseld Jr. opts for 3-point shooting to complement the rest of the lineup. If Avdija can keep defenses honest enough on the perimeter and consistently rebound as he has for a team that has struggled in that department, then he deserves to consistently see 30+ minutes of playing time per game.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_74886\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74886\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FkTzKz_WAAES7eC-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"587\" height=\"684\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74886\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-74886\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deni Avdija &#8211; Photo Credit: Washington Wizards<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe currently No. 9 Wizards (28-30) first 9 games following the All-Star break starts on Friday and features 3 games against the No. 8 Atlanta Hawks, 2 games against the No. 6 New York Knicks, and 2 games against the No. 10 Toronto Raptors that will certainly prove impactful in play-in seeding.
