Return is coming. Danny Avdia’s coach in Washington, Wes Anseld Jr., announced tonight (between Friday and Saturday) that the Israeli who is recovering from his groin injury is expected to return to the floor next week.
“I expect Danny Avdia to be fit for the season opener (between Wednesday and Thursday) against Indiana,” he said Anseld Jr. “He’s almost there in terms of his recovery from the groin injury, it’s a matter of getting back into playing shape and doing more repetitions in training. We don’t want to overburden him.”
“Abadiah had a great summer, he and Roy Hachimura improved, but as far as I’m concerned, Roy is the player who has improved the most in the team since last season,” said the coach. “You can’t compare who Hachimura was in the middle of last season to now, he’s a completely different player.” .
Avdia hasn’t played in any of the Wizards’ preseason games, but that shouldn’t be a problem for the forward. Tonight he will not participate in the game against the Knicks either. Remember, last season he did not miss a single official game of the team (82/82).
