Deni Avdija and Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey have been named the NBA Players of the Week for Week 11 of the 2025-26 season.
This is the first such award for the Israeli player.
Avdija helped lead Portland to a 3-1 record over the course of the week, posting averages of 26.8 points (.446 FG%, .381 3FG%), 9.8 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game. Avdija was the only player in the entire NBA to reach each of those averages or better for the week.
Avdija’s standout week included a 29-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double on his 25th birthday during Sunday’s road win over San Antonio, which marked his third triple-double this season and fifth of his career. In just his second season with the Trail Blazers, Avdija has five 25+ point triple-doubles—second in team history.
For the season, Avdija is one of just three players in the entire NBA averaging 25+ points, 7+ assists and 7+ rebounds per game, while he ranks top 20 in the league in total assists (6th), total points (7th) and total rebounds (18th).
