Ersan Ilyasova suddenly unlikely for Tuesday
Ersan Ilyasova - F - Milwaukee Bucks
March 19, 2013 - 2:55 AM ET

Ersan Ilyasova is dealing with a sore back and is not likely to play on Tuesday against the Blazers.

That came out of left field. Ilyasova is coming off of three straight double-doubles of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, so this is a major blow to owners relying on his production right now. The Bucks play Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, so it's possible Ilyasova could still contribute to those in weekly formats. If he sits, Mike Dunleavy and Marquis Daniels are likely to be prime beneficiaries with Drew Gooden, John Henson or Gustavo Ayon also possibly picking up some extra time.
