The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Ersan Ilyasova was bought out by the Hawks and is now linked with a return to the Bucks.
In today’s edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we hear the details on a potential Ersan Ilyasova return, the reactions from a dramatic overtime win in Toronto on Friday night, and much more.
With no open roster spot at present, there’s no really obvious route for the Bucks to reacquire Ilyasova, but it’s unsurprising that their name has emerged in the rumors now surrounding him as a free agent. Ilyasova was a popular figure during his seven years in Milwaukee, and with his family still living in the city, the move would make perfect sense for him on a personal level.
