Ilyasova is 100 percent healthy and seeking a bounce-back season, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Ilyasova struggled mightily last season, battling through chronic injuries to post the worst statistical averages of his career. The Bucks were reportedly shopping him during the summer but were unable to find an offer appealing enough to strike a deal. Ilyasova did not play for his native Turkey in this summer's FIBA World Cup, instead focusing on resting up for the NBA season. "Last year I just came from the European Championship to training camp. I think it was really too much on my body. It was really bad, and I kind of rushed myself to come back the first game of the season. It was like a snowball. It gets worse and worse, and I never find myself 100%. Especially when you have a season like that, everybody was looking for some positive things," Ilyasova said. "This summer I spent a lot of time fixing my ankle. Hopefully this season I start on a new page, with a lot of energy and power."
