Ilyasova tallied 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), five rebounds, four steals and two blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's overtime loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old drew his first start of the season with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (rest) out and set season highs in every stat category. Before Saturday's game, Ilyasova had only played in eight total games this season, averaging 2.1 points in 6.4 minutes. Once Rudy Gobert (rest) returns, Ilyasova's minutes will fall by the wayside.

Ilyasova (coach's decision) didn't play during Monday's loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova didn't appear for a third time over the past four games. However, the forward posted a season-high nine points and five rebounds in 13 minutes of action in Saturday's blowout win over Orlando. The veteran, who signed on mid-season, has played in five games so far for the Jazz.

Ilyasova is expected to sign with the Jazz on Wednesday, pending final bloodwork, Jordan Schultz of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova was waived by Milwaukee in November after a trade between the Bucks and Kings involving Bogdan Bogdanovic fell through. He's yet to appear in the NBA this season, but he appears to be headed to the current top team in the Western Conference on a veteran minimum deal. The 33-year-old appeared in 63 games for Milwaukee last season, averaging 6.6 point and 4.8 rebounds per game. He likely won't be in line for many minutes, but he'll at least be able to provide a low-level offensive presence off the bench if coach Quin Snyder calls upon him.

Ilyasova was waived by Milwaukee on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the trade between the Bucks and Kings fell through that was supposed to send Ilyasova to Sacramento, Milwaukee has opted to waive the veteran, whose $7 million for 2020-21 was not guaranteed. The 33-year-old will likely draw some interest from other competing teams in free agency. That said, he played a minimal role with the Bucks last season, averaging 6.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15.7 minutes.

Ilyasova will remain with the Bucks for the time being, as the deal to send him to the Kings fell through, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The key piece of the key, Bogdan Bogdanovic, has opted to enter restricted free agency rather than engage in a sign-and-trade with the Bucks. As a result, Ilyasova, Donte DiVincenzo and D.J. Wilson -- the trio originally headed to Sacramento -- will remain with Milwaukee.

Ilyasova was traded to the Kings early Tuesday morning as part of a package that brings Bogdan Bogdanovic to Milwaukee via sign-and-trade, Adrian Wojnarowksi of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova is simply a salary throw-in in the deal, and it's unclear if the Kings intend to keep him around. The veteran charge-takings-specialist appeared in 63 games for Milwaukee last season, averaging 6.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15.7 minutes.

Ilyasova (elbow) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's Game 2 against Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Game 1 with an elbow injury, Ilyasova has been removed from the report and should be available off the bench. The veteran began to lose minutes after the team signed Marvin Williams, so he's unlikely to hold a significant role in the playoffs.

Ilyasova (elbow) will not play in Tuesday's Game 1 against Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
The sprained elbow that kept Ilyasova out of the team's final seeding game will sideline him as the Bucks begin postseason play. It's not a significant loss for Milwaukee, as Ilyasvoa's workload began to wane following the addition of Marvin Williams at the deadline.

Ilyasova (elbow) is out for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
A sprained right elbow will keep the veteran out for the Bucks' final seeding game. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (suspension) also out, D.J. Wilson should see plenty of run in the frontcourt.
