Ersan Ilyasova erupts in Philadelphia's Tuesday defeat

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Ersan Ilyasova exploded for 23 points and 17 rebounds as the Sixers lost 96-91 to the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

The 76ers were thin in the front-court, with both Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid missing the game, and Ilyasova nearly reached 40 minutes for the second time this season.

Ilyasova had a team-high 16.81 nERD in Tuesday's loss, per numberFire Live, though his season-long number is still an uninspiring -0.2.
