Deni Avdija - Heads to bench Avdija isn't included in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Celtics. Impact As expected, Avdija will head back to the bench after he made a spot start Friday against the Raptors in place of Kyle Kuzma (neck), who has been cleared to return from a one-game absence. In the Wizards' 109-105 loss to Toronto, Avdija played 31 minutes and totaled nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six assists and five rebounds. He'll likely see his court time drop down to around 20 minutes with Kuzma back in the mix.
