When Deni Avdija has the ball in transition with a head of steam, defenses have to account for his ability to both score and create for others. Racing up court against Sacramento on January 18, 2026, the versatile forward surveyed the floor and spotted Donovan Clingan sprinting toward the rim. Avdija fired a pinpoint no-look pass through traffic that hit Clingan perfectly in stride, leading to a two-handed slam. The first-time All-Star posted an impressive 30 points and 8 assists. · Jan 19, 2026
