Deni Avdija aims to bring pride to Israel through his basketball career, while also staying deeply connected to the situation back home. With close friends serving as combat soldiers, he constantly thinks about their safety and the well-being of the hostages’ families.
He has been trying to offer support as much as possible, despite the challenge of balancing his professional responsibilities. With the news and social media constantly in the background, Avdija feels compelled to stay involved and do his part both on and off the court to make a positive impact on Israel.
“I have friends who are combat soldiers who risked their lives for the country, and my heart is with them all the time. I’ve been very interested in their well-being and the well-being of the hostages’ families,” he said.
“I try to help as much as I can, balancing it with my career. At home, the TV was on all day, and social media too, so it was impossible not to be involved. I tried to do what I could to bring some pride to Israel through basketball and my efforts off the court.”
