In what has been a well-traveled career, one that has quite literally spanned the globe, all roads have led to the Milwaukee Bucks more than once for veteran forward Ersan Ilyasova.
llyasova made his stunning Milwaukee homecoming on the opening night of free agency last offseason upon agreeing to a three-year, $21 million deal, the final year of the contract being non-guaranteed.
While the Turkish international would no longer occupy a starting role just as he had for the majority of his second go-around with the Bucks, his return would not only reunite him with those that remained in the front office through the many changes over the years, but also head coach Mike Budenholzer as both overlapped during their respective stints with the Atlanta Hawks.
