Ersan Ilyasova expected to miss rest of season

The Milwaukee Bucks have said that Ersan Ilyasova is likely to miss the rest of the season with an ankle problem.

The forward visited a specialist earlier this week, who recommended rest and rehabilitation instead of surgery to fix the complaint.

Ilyasova has played in 55 games this season, starting 47 and averaging 11.2 points.

The Bucks host the Miami Heat tomorrow night.
