Unlikely. This is a very old version of OpenJDK, rather than a new 
version: the version in trixie is openjdk-21. The backports team's 
policy would not allow openjdk-11 to be backported from unstable, 
because it has been intentionally removed from testing (#1023237) and 
therefore is not going to be in the next stable release.

(I'm not sure why it still exists in unstable at this point, but that 
would be a question for the developer who is uploading it to unstable, 
Matthias Klose, rather than a question for the developer who is applying 
security updates to Debian 11 LTS.)

If you're installing a package that was designed to be used with Ubuntu 
onto your Debian system, you're already outside the scope of what either 
Debian or Microsoft aims to support. You might be able to use the 
openjdk-11-jre from Debian 11 LTS, or from unstable, at your own risk.
