Fri Jan 2 201512:15Ilyasova (concussion) out for Friday's game against Pacers
Ilyasova (concussion) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
This marks a fifth consecutive absence for Ilyasova, who hasn't officially been ruled out beyond Friday. Milwaukee's next game is scheduled for Sunday against the Knicks.
Wed Dec 31 201411:00Ilyasova (concussion) will not play Wednesday against Cavaliers
Ilyasova (concussion) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova will join Larry Sanders (illness) in missing a fourth consecutive game since suffering a concussion against the Hornets last Tuesday. He's missed 13 of 14 contests overall after previously suffering an orbital fracture on Dec. 2. John Henson figures to absorb most of Ilyasova's minutes off the bench.

Ilyasova (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, C.F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova suffered the concussion Tuesday against the Bobcats, and his lingering symptoms will cause him to miss a third straight game. He'll be reevaluated in advance of a New Year's Eve showdown with the Cavaliers. With Larry Sanders (illness) listed as questionable for the Monday contest as well, the Bucks may find themselves a bit thin in the frontcourt as they close out 2014.

Ilyasova took a blow to the head Tuesday and was dealing with concussion-like symptoms, but will be evaluated for Saturday's game against the Hawks, the Milwaukee Jounal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks, but will apparently get evaluated for Saturday's contest. Johnny O'Bryant will start at power forward again Friday in Ilyasova's absence.
Fri Dec 26 201412:40Ilyasova (concussion) will not play Friday against Hawks
Ilyasova (concussion) will not play Friday against the Hawks, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova returned from a nine-game absence Tuesday against Charlotte and scored four points in 16 minutes. He's apparently still dealing with lingering concussion symptoms, however, and will return to the sideline Friday. Consider him questionable for Saturday's rematch with the Hawks in Milwaukee.
Wed Dec 24 201404:57Ilyasova (nose) returned from nine-game absence Tuesday
Ilyasova (nose) returned from a nine-game absence Tuesday. He put up four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, and one assist in 16 minutes off the bench.
With starting power forward Jabari Parker (knee) out for the rest of the season, Ilyasova should have plenty of opportunity to try and claim significant minutes in the Bucks frontcourt. Prior to his injury, Ilyasova averaged 11.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 20 minutes per game in November. That's not enough minutes to be of use in standard leagues, but with Parker's minutes available, Ilyasova should be on all watch lists in case his role expands.
Tue Dec 23 201418:26Ilyasova (nose) will be available off bench Tuesday
Ilyasova (nose) will be available off the bench Tuesday.
Johnny O'Bryant will get the start again at the four Tuesday, with Ilyasova serving as a reserve. It may be worth rostering Ilyasova with Jabari Parker out for the season, but owners should not be expecting much from him on a night-to-night basis right now.
Mon Dec 22 201414:25Ilyasova (nose) hoping to return Tuesday against Hornets
Ilyasova (nose) is hoping to return Tuesday against the Hornets, C.F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova hasn't played since Dec. 2, when he suffered a nasal fracture against the Cavaliers. He went through a full practice Monday, however, and there's a good chance he'll be available Tuesday. Ilyasova will don a mask, and coach Jason Kidd said he'll bring the forward off the bench initially. With John Henson (foot) and Jabari Parker (knee) out of action, Ilyasova should be able to carve out a significant role once fully healthy.

Ilyasova (nose) is getting closer to a return and will be reevaluated next week when the Bucks return home from their current road trip, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Charles Gardner reports.
The short-handed Bucks will have to play at least one more game without Ilyasova, but he should be back at some point next week if his evaluation goes well.
Thu Dec 18 201417:29Ilyasova (nose) remains out for Thursday's game against Kings
Ilyasova (nose) remains out for Thursday's game against the Kings, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Ilyasova continues to sit out due to a nasal fracture and concussion, and it seems unlikely he joins the team for Saturday's game in Los Angeles, which concludes Milwaukee's Western Conference road swing. With John Henson (foot), Larry Sanders (suspension) and Jabari Parker (knee) all out Thursday, the Bucks will be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Ilyasova is listed as being "out" for Wednesday night's matchup against the Trail Blazers, ESPN's True Hoop Network reports.
The Bucks are currently without basically all of their power forwards with the news yesterday that Jabari Parker has a torn ACL. Ersan Ilyasova, John Henson and Damien Inglis are all also listed as being out, while Johnny O'Bryant is questionable. When Ilyasova returns, Parker owners will want to pick him up, and any owner will likely want to take advantage of his increased minutes. His next chance to return is Thursday night against the Kings.
Fri Dec 12 201413:28Ersan Ilyasova: (Nose) Ready for Light Conditioning
Ilyasova (nose) has been cleared for light conditioning and will have a checkup Monday to remove the cast on his face and get fitted for a mask, Andrew Gruman of FOX Sports reports.
Considering that Ilyasova won't be fitted for a mask until Monday, it seems reasonable to assume that he won't be able to take the court until Monday against the Suns at the earliest. At that point, he should be considered day-to-day while he recovers from his minor concussion and nasal fracture.

Ilyasova (nose) remains out of action and will likely miss Saturday's game against the Clippers, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ilyasova suffered a minor concussion and nasal fracture last Tuesday and is yet to return to practice, as the swelling around has not subsided to the point that he can be fitted with a mask. Consider him doubtful to play Saturday, but he'll likely return next week during the Bucks' four-game road swing, which begins Monday in Phoenix.
Wed Dec 3 201416:14Ersan Ilyasova: (Nose/Concussion) To Miss At Least Four Games
Ilyasova suffered a minor concussion Tuesday, in addition to a nasal fracture, and will miss at least the next four games, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Charles Gardner reports.
Ilyasova will not make the trip to Dallas with the team for Sunday's game, and will not play Tuesday in Oklahoma City either. The soonest he could return would be when the Bucks return home to Milwaukee for a matchup with the Clippers next Saturday.
Wed Dec 3 201415:09Ersan Ilyasova: Out With Broken Nose
Ilyasova suffered a nasal fracture Tuesday, and will not play in Wednesday's game.
It's no surprise that he won't play Wednesday, as he stayed overnight at a hospital in Cleveland following Tuesday's game. The team says his status will be updated when appropriate, and for now he should be considered highly questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. Ilyasova will likely need to be fitted for a protective mask in order to return to the court anytime soon.
Tue Dec 2 201423:13Ersan Ilyasova: (Face) To Stay Overnight At Hospital
Ilyasova (face) will remain overnight at a hospital in Cleveland for observation following his facial contusion suffered Tuesday.
This certainly does not bode well for Ilyasova's chances of playing in Wednesday's home game against the Mavericks. Consider him doubtful for Wednesday's game, and questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. We should learn more about his status Wednesday afternoon.
Tue Dec 2 201422:03Ilyasova (face) taken to hospital after Tuesday's game
Ilyasova (face) was taken to the hospital after Tuesday's game, Bucksketball's Mitch Vomhof reports.
He left Tuesday's game with what was thought to be just a face contusion after taking an elbow in the first half, but it appears to be more serious than that. Continue to monitor his status and consider him day-to-day until we hear more.
Tue Dec 2 201420:37Ilyasova suffered facial contusion and will not return to Tuesda...
Ilyasova suffered a facial contusion and will not return to Tuesday's game, the News-Herald's Bob Finnan reports.
He took an elbow to the face near the end of the first half against the Cavs and should be considered day-to-day.
Fri Nov 28 201421:59Ilyasova scored season-high 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT)...
Ilyasova scored a season-high 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) Friday in a win over the struggling Pistons.
No starter for the Bucks scored in double digits, but the bench combined to score 69 points. Ilyasova led the charge, playing 31 minutes, also a season high for him. The Turk is worth a pickup for teams looking to fill in for any possible injuries, considering he's scored double-digit points in each of his past seven games. He also helps out with rebounds, pulling down eight on Friday in addition to the nine he had Tuesday.
Sun Nov 16 201417:43Ilyasova will come off bench against Heat on Sunday
Ilyasova will come off the bench against the Heat on Sunday.
Ilyasova will give way to Giannis Antetokounmpo for starting five purposes, although Jabari Parker will ultimately slide down to power forward. The 27-year-old is averaging just 17.7 minutes on the court this season and it's not unreasonable to think that he could see around that number off the bench Sunday anyways.
