Without either, he logged more than 40 minutes during both teams' overtime matchup. Now that Boswell is available, the Illini's starting lineup will include him.

Andrej Stojakovic - Still out Sunday Stojakovic (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Indiana, according to Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.

Impact Stojakovic's ankle injury will cause another DNP. For the Illinois team's conference games, his rates include 13.3 points and 5.6 rebounds. Without him part of Illinois' starting lineup against Wisconsin, the Illini used Ben Humrichous, though Kylan Boswell (hand) now healthy may mean another alteration to their starting lineup come Sunday.

Kylan Boswell - Available vs. Indiana Boswell (hand) is available for Sunday's game against Indiana, according to Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.

Impact After fracturing his right hand in mid-January, Boswell did not play seven games, for which Illinois started out 5-0 before suffering back-to-back losses, mostly because of subpar defense. With him available, it should be better, and he also brings both scoring and depth for the recently injury-struck Illini. For his 2025-26 season, Boswell has 14.3 points per game, which he has logged while shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line.
