Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova is out indefinitely after a CT scan taken at the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday night revealed a nasal fracture.
Ilyasova will not play Wednesday when the Bucks host the Mavericks and is not expected to travel on the team's next trip to Dallas and Oklahoma City.
Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson inadvertently caught Ilyasova with an elbow as both players fought for a rebound in the final minute of the first half of Cleveland's 111-108 victory over the Bucks.
Ilyasova was evaluated in the locker room at halftime before being taken to the Cleveland Clinic. He was held overnight for observation before being released to return to Milwaukee on Wednesday morning.
The 27-year-old is averaging 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds over 18.5 minutes per game in 19 games for the Bucks this season. He entered Tuesday night's game averaging 15.8 points while shooting 56.0 percent from the field in his last eight games.
