Breaking News: According to CBS Sports analyst and College Basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Illinois Basketball sophomore Andrej Stojakovic is expected to be fully cleared for basketball-related activities and back on the court within the next couple of weeks, prior to tipping off the 2025-26 season. Certainly, this is great news for the Illini’s talented scorer, who suffered a knee sprain back in late August-early September.

The former McDonald’s All-American will undoubtedly be a major addition to Brad Underwood’s arsenal, as the Cal transfer comes into Champaign hot off a First-Team ACC season in 2024-25, totaling 523 points, 23 steals, 38 blocks, and 79 assists for the Golden Bears.  Like many, I would expect Andrej to be the leading force of this 2025-26 team, and a focal point of Brad Underwood.

Now, all eyes are on junior forward Ty Rodgers, who suffered a significant knee injury back in early June.
