Illinois star Marcus Domask signs contract with Bulls after NBA Draft concludes originally appeared in NBC Sports Chicago
O Chicago buffaloes acted quickly after the NBA Draft to add players to their roster, signing former Illinois forward Marcus Domask to a Schedule 10 contract.
Prior to the 2023-24 campaign, Domask transferred to Illinois after four seasons at SIU. He averaged 15.9 points and five rebounds per game in 38 games with the Illini.
He recorded a triple-double in the NCAA tournament opener against Morehead State, and scored 22 points in the second round against Duquesne, helping the Illini to an Elite Eight appearance.
Domask was denied an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA during the offseason, leaving him eligible to sign with a professional team.
Your teammate Terence Shannon Jr. was selected with the 27th overall pick in the draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, making him the first Illinois player selected in the first round in over a decade.
An “Exhibition 10” contract is a one-year deal that can be signed during the offseason when the maximum roster size increases to 21 players, per the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
If Domask is waived before the regular season, he will be designated an “affiliated player,” with the Bulls retaining his G-League rights. He could then opt to play with the Windy City Buls and ultimately be eligible for the full bonus if he stays with the team for 60 days, according to Hoops Rumors.
If Domask went abroad, he would not be entitled to the bonus.
The Bulls could also convert the contract to a two-way deal before the season, which would guarantee the bonus immediately.
Domask is expected to play for the Summer League team.
