Ersan Ilyasova leaves game vs. Cavs with facial contusion

Milwaukee Bucks big man Ersan Ilyasova left Tuesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers after suffering a facial contusion. He will not return to the game.

Ilyasova had nine points in 12 minutes of action, but caught an inadvertent elbow from Tristan Thompson while going up for a rebound in traffic. Ilyasova was noticeably affected by the collision, and was unable to return after trying to shake it off.

UPDATE:

Jason Kidd just said that Ersan was taken to the hospital after the game tonight. Must be more serious than just a contusion.

Hopefully the injury isn't too serious. Fingers crossed.
