Returning Bullets star Javon Freeman-Liberty will miss Brisbane's Friday night clash with the Adelaide 36ers.

The second debut of Brisbane Bullets' Javon Freeman-Liberty will be delayed at least one week, with the star wing currently battling a viral illness.

Freeman-Liberty, who re-signed with the Bullets last month, will miss the club's Round 11 fixture with the 36ers at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

The 26-year-old, who averaged 19 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists across his Bullets games earlier this season, will be replaced in Stu Lash's squad by young gun Tristan Devers.
