Ersan Ilyasova will start for Sixers on Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Ersan Ilyasova will start on Monday night in Game 2 against the Miami Heat.
This move was expected as Ilyasova was a huge part in quieting Heat center Hassan Whiteside in Game 1. Amir Johnson will head to the bench.
Ilyasova finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds in 32 minutes against Miami on Saturday. He averaged 10.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 24.1 minutes per game for the Sixers this season.
