Illinois’ Marcus Domask enters NBA draft

Illinois All-Big Ten guard Marcus Domask entered the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday, bringing an apparent end to his appeal for a medical hardship waiver and sixth year of college eligibility.”At this time, I have exhausted all my possible eligibility in college and will be entering my name in and preparing for the 2024 NBA Draft,” Domask posted to social media Thursday afternoon.Illinois returns only one player for its primary rotation — current sophomore Ty Rodgers — next season. Rodgers is also the top returning scorer at 6.2 points per game with top four scorers Terrence Shannon Jr. (23 points per game), Domask, Coleman Hawkins (12.1 ppg) and Quincy Guerrier (9.6) all NBA draft hopefuls.A transfer from Southern Illinois last spring, Domask delivered in a huge way in Champaign. He was named First Team All-Big Ten and averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists during the Fighting Illini’s run to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.
