Career highlights and awards

Mile Ilić (Serbian: Миле Илић; born June 2, 1984) is a Serbian professional basketball player for Tadamon Zouk of the Lebanese Basketball League. He played with the New Jersey Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Ilić, a 2.15 m tall (7'1") center, was drafted by the Nets in 2005 as the 43rd overall pick, and began his rookie season in 2006–07.

Ilić started his senior career with FMP. In the 2005 NBA Draft he was drafted by the New Jersey Nets as a 43rd overall pick. On September 13, 2006, Nets signed Ilić as a foreseeable future backup for countryman Nenad Krstić. On February 26, 2007, the Nets assigned him to the Colorado 14ers, their NBA Development League affiliate. Ilić thus became the first player that the Nets assigned to the D-League since instituting affiliate teams (prior to the 2005–06 NBA season).

On October 29, 2007, he was traded by the Nets to New Orleans Hornets along with Bernard Robinson for David Wesley (both Ilić and Robinson were immediately waived by the Hornets).

After getting waived in the NBA, Ilić returned to Europe and signed with Lokomotiv Rostov on November 26, 2007. However, he never played for the Russian club because of injury. On February 24, 2008, he signed with CB Bilbao Berri, team from the Spanish ACB. Hampered by the recovery process from a leg injury he only appeared in 10 games for the club averaging 5.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
