Danny Avdia tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) was one point away from a new career record in the NBA with 24 points in the loss of the Washington Wizards to the Phoenix Suns 140:112.
The Israeli also added three assists and a rebound.
It was the forward's best game in his team's uniform, until in the last quarter he was disqualified along with the five and did not play a minute.
Without the injured Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley, the Israeli took a step forward, scored 15 points already in the first half, including a huge dunk on Drew Eubanks from Phoenix and was great.
Avdia finished with a total of 10/13 from the field including 3 three-pointers from 5 attempts.
DENI AVDIJA.

Avdia's record is 25 points and he set it twice on 3/28 against Boston and on 1/30 against San Antonio in 2023. The Israeli's best game in 2024 was on 1/24 against Minnesota when he scored 24 points '.
Despite Avdia's performance, Washington was not a real opponent for the Suns.
Bradley Bill scored 43 points against the ex with quite a bit of trash talk, also at Danny's expense.
The guard went down in the fourth quarter and received a standing ovation from the crowd at Capital One Arena.
Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic scored 18 points each.
