Ilyasova (groin) returned Friday, coming off the bench for 16 minutes, but only shot 3-for-10 from the floor and finished the game with six points, one rebound and one assist.
This was Ilyasova's first action since Jan. 27. He's been injured for most of the season, and with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing well at power forward, it's unlikely that Ilyasova will find his way into the starting lineup anytime soon.

Ilyasova (groin) will come off the bench for Milwaukee in Friday's game, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Charles Gardner reports.
After missing the last four games, the Bucks get some much needed frontcourt reinforcement Friday. Don't look for Ilyasova to play much more than 20 minutes, as he was seeing limited run prior to the injury.

Ilyasova (groin) is considered questionable to play against the Rockets on Friday, Preston Schmitt of Bucksketball reports.
Ilyasova has been off the court since Jan. 27 with continued complications with his groin injury. If he's unable to play Friday, John Henson will likely see extended time on the hardwood.
Wed Feb 4 201518:39Ilyasova (groin) ruled out for Wednesday's game against Lakers
Ilyasova (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova will miss another contest, but coach Jason Kidd said the forward had a good workout Wednesday afternoon and is "on track to return soon." Consider Ilyasova questionable for Friday's game in Houston.
Wed Feb 4 201513:04Ilyasova (groin) unlikely to play Wednesday against Lakers
Ilyasova (groin) is unlikely to play Wednesday against the Lakers, Greg Matzek of 620 WTMJ reports.
Ilyasova is expected to be in uniform Wednesday but, in all likelihood, will not see the floor as he continues to rehab a groin injury. With Kenyon Martin (ankle) and Zaza Pachulia (calf) also slated to sit out, the Bucks will yet again be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Ilyasova (groin) is considered questionable to play Wednesday against the Lakers, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova strained his groin against the Heat last week and has subsequently missed the last three games. He did some individual, conditioning work at Tuesday's practice, and he'll be evaluated at shootaround Wednesday before a determination is made for the matchup with the Lakers. In Ilyasova's absence, Jared Dudley and Kenyon Martin have seen increased minutes, and that will likely continue if Ilyasova is held out Wednesday.
Sat Jan 31 201518:55Ersan Ilyasova: (Groin) Sidelined Saturday
Ilyasova (groin) won't take the court Saturday against the Blazers.
Ilysova injured his right groin Tuesday, which has forced back-to-back DNPs. Because Zaza Pachulia (calf) remains out of commission, the Bucks will turn to a starting frontcourt of Jared Dudley and John Henson.
Thu Jan 29 201511:45Ilyasova (groin) will not play Thursday against Magic
Ilyasova (groin) will not play Thursday against the Magic, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova departed Tuesday's game in Miami with soreness in his right groin, and the issue continues to bother him. While Ilyasova is with the team in Orlando, he did not go through shootaround. Consider the forward questionable for Saturday's game against Portland back in Milwaukee.
Tue Jan 27 201520:55Ersan Ilyasova: Leaves With Sore Groin
Ilyasova has a sore right groin and will not return to Tuesday's game.
This news came at halftime with Ilyasova sitting at four points and one rebound in 10 minutes. He should be considered day-to-day for now, and John Henson should see extended run in his absence.

Ilyasova started a third straight game at power forward Sunday, putting up 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one block, and one steal in 23 minutes.
Ilyasova has averaged just 19 minutes per game in his three starts, limiting his ceiling in fantasy. While his ability to rebound and hit three-pointers makes Ilyasova a player worth watching in standard leagues, until he gets at least 26 minutes per game, it's unlikely he'll be consistent enough to use in anything but deeper leagues.

Ilyasova had seven points, one rebound, one block, and two steals in 17 minutes as the starter Thursday against the Jazz.
Ilyasova received less playing time as the starter than he did Monday coming off the bench, where he logged 23 minutes on the floor. If he retains a starting role, he should be able to put up better production than he did Thursday but still remains a low-end fantasy option.
Thu Jan 22 201518:29Ilyasova starting Thursday's game against Jazz
Ilyasova is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.
After coming off the bench in his two appearances following a 10-game absence, Ilyasova will replace the underwhelming Johnny O'Bryant in the starting five. His previous tilt Monday against the Raptors is likely more indicative of his potential output -- 14 points, seven rebounds, and one block in 23 minutes -- but an uptick in his workload cannot be ruled out with a more prominent role.
Wed Jan 21 201514:36Ilyasova practiced with first unit Wednesday and likely to move ...
Ilyasova practiced with the first unit Wednesday and is likely to move into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Injuries have forced Milwaukee to shuffle its lineup for much of the season. After Jabari Parker went down with a season-ending knee injury, Jason Kidd turned to rookie second-rounder Johnny O'Bryant to fill the starting power forward spot, as Ilyasova was injured at the time. With the veteran now back in the mix, and coming off of a strong showing against Toronto on Monday, he appears poised to reclaim his starting spot, and he'll probably remain the starter going forward. O'Bryant provided decent energy but is a very poor rebounder for his size and is still struggling with the speed of the NBA game.
Mon Jan 19 201522:47Ilyasova scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) to go along ...
Ilyasova scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and one block in 23 minutes Monday against the Raptors.
Ilyasova looked active Monday and provided solid minutes off the bench for the Bucks. He has the ability to hit shots from behind the arc, but his overall production is limited as he is only averaging 9.6 points and 3.9 rebounds a game this season.
Thu Jan 15 201517:50Ilyasova returned from ten-game absence due to concussion on Wed...
Ilyasova returned from a ten-game absence due to a concussion on Wednesday and put up one point (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench.
Ilyasova could jump back into the starting lineup at some point, but even in the six games he started earlier this season, Ilyasova averaged just 6.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 three-pointers in 21 minutes per game, while shooting 37 percent from the field and 14 percent from byond the arc. Avoid him in standard leagues unless he starts playing over 26 mpg.
Thu Jan 15 201514:13Ilyasova (concussion) expected to see 10-to-20 minutes against K...
Ilyasova (concussion) is expected to see 10-to-20 minutes against the Knicks on Thursday, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova will make his return to action in London on Thursday afternoon, but coach Jason Kidd said he'll be on a minutes restriction, as he's played in just one game since Dec. 2.
Tue Jan 13 201510:12Ilyasova (concussion) will play in Thursday's game against Knick...
Ilyasova (concussion) will play in Thursday's game against the Knicks in London, Bucks play-by-play announcer Jim Paschke reports.
Ilyasova has played in just one game since Dec. 2, but he may be an option for the starting lineup, as the Bucks have been using Johnny O'Bryant at power forward. O'Bryant doesn't get typical starter minutes, so Ilyasova's return could also cut into the playing time of a slew of other players.

Ilyasova (concussion) is making progress and will make the trip to London next week, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Charles Gardner reports.
The Bucks play in London on Thursday, and it would seem unnecessary to bring Ilyasova on that trip if there was not a chance he could play in the game. Consider him day-to-day for now, although he will not play Friday.
Mon Jan 5 201515:29Ilyasova (concussion) rejoined Bucks on Monday and took part in ...
Ilyasova (concussion) rejoined the Bucks on Monday and took part in the team's walkthrough, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova is in the midst of the league's concussion protocol and deemed himself day-to-day. He's hoping to raise his activity level Tuesday, but he will not play against the Suns, and it seems highly unlikely he'd be ready for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.
Fri Jan 2 201519:34Ilyasova (concussion) will be out while
Ilyasova (concussion) will be out a while, SB Nation's Aron Yohannes reports. "He's got a ways to go," coach Jason Kidd said.
Meanwhile, Larry Sanders is expected to be away from the team indefinitely due to personal reasons, so John Henson, Zaza Pachulia and Johnny O'Bryant should see most of the frontcourt minutes for the Bucks for the foreseeable future.
