BREAKING: Washington Wizards Trade Deni Avdija to Portland Trail Blazers in Draft Day Shock

The Washington Wizards have made a trade, sending forward Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for guard Malcolm Brogdon, the No. 14 pick in the draft, and a 2029 pick, according to ESPN’s Wojnarowski. The news of the trade broke in the hours leading up to the draft.

Avdija, who was selected ninth overall in the 2020 draft, is coming off his fourth NBA season with the Wizards. Last season, he started 75 games and posted career highs in points, rebounds, and assists per game, while shooting efficiently from the field and beyond the arc.
