	Žydrūnas Ilgauskas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ilgauskas was drafted 20th overall by the Cavaliers in 1996.
		Ilgauskas quickly made his mark both as a very good center, but also as being spectacularly injury-prone due to foot troubles.
		Ilgauskas missed all of the 1996-1997 season, all but five games in the 1998-1999 season and all but 24 games in the 1999-2000 season.

		Ilgauskas, who was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team on Tuesday, had more money than he'd ever be able to spend and could have easily retired from the NBA.

	Everything Sabonis- Zydrunas Ilgauskas
		Ilgauskas, a native of Lithuania, is one of the NBA's growing number of international players.
		Had it not been for five operations on his feet — three on the right foot and two on the left — which threatened to end his career, the seven-year veteran and first-time All-Star could well be the center of attention that Yao has become.
		Ilgauskas was healthy during the 1997-98 season and provided the league with a glimpse of why he had been so highly regarded, averaging 13.9 points and earning a spot on the All-Rookie first team.

		Ilgauskas, signed to a sixyear, $71 million contract last season, will now be out for the rest of the year.
		Losing Ilgauskas, who broke the foot five games into last year's strike-shortened season, is a huge blow to Cleveland's playoff hopes.

		Ilgauskas doesn't get much media attention in Cleveland – what with that LeBron kid hogging the cameras – and he rarely fills up the local or national newspapers with verbose or insightful quotes.
		As such, we're not sure what exactly has inspired Ilgauskas lately, but Big Z is showing a lot of hustle on the defensive end of the floor.
		On January 16, Ilgauskas and Jazz center Greg Ostertag were overly aggressive in their game of patty-cake, and the NBA subsequently slapped each player with a one-game suspension for fighting, which Zydrunas served on the 20th.
