Deni isn’t playing the rest of the night but he’s out getting shots up before the second half starts

At the end of the first quarter both teams are shooting below 35% from the field. Tied 20-20.

Team says Deni is available to play.

Tiago Splitter says Deni Avdija is going to warm up before deciding whether to play or not.
