Bucks' Ilyasova back on sidelines Friday

Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY Sports

Ersan Ilyasova, who returned to the Milwaukee Bucks' rotation Tuesday after a nine-game absence due to a concussion, is back on the DNP list Friday. 

The Bucks are listing the reason for Ilyasova's absence as a concussion, so it's likely the Turkish forward is still battling symptoms from the shot to the face he took Dec. 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ilyasova was subsequently diagnosed with a mild concussion and a broken nose. 

The Bucks, currently sitting sixth in the East, are thin up front following the season-ending injury to Jabari Parker and Ilyasova's troubles.

Larry Sanders is also out Friday due to illness, while Milwaukee has listed center John Henson as probable.
