Deni Avdija
Returns to court for Israel

Avdija sat out Portland's final four games of the regular season with a thumb injury, but his presence back on the court this summer indicates he's fully recovered from the issue. The 2020 first-rounder shouldn't have any limitations for training camp this fall, and he's lined up as one of Portland's top playmakers for 2025-26. While he got off to a slow start a year ago, Avdija averaged 23.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes per game over 20 appearances after the All-Star break in 2024-25.

Bilal Coulibaly
Back in action for EuroBasket

Coulibaly missed the final month of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, but fantasy managers should be encouraged to see him back on the court this summer. The 2023 first-rounder figures to be a full participant in training camp this fall, and he's set to play a significant role in Washington's frontcourt in 2025-26. Coulibaly averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per game through 59 regular-season outings in 2024-25.
