Good news for the Cavaliers. After missing seven games because of a bad back, Ilgauskas is expected to return to the starting lineup today when the Cavaliers play the Bobcats at 6pm at the Q.
The Cavaliers have gone 4-3 in his absence.
Since the trade, Ben Wallace and Ilgauskas played well together, “I thought Ilgauskas and Wallace played well with each other and off of each other offensively and defensively,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “Hopefully, that will pick right up again.”
