Will redshirt
Jakstys (shoulder) will redshirt the 2025-26 season, according to Scott Richey of The News Gazette.
Impact
Jakstys has been dealing with a blood clot, and it's been decided that he'll redshirt the entire season. He'll look to recover in time for the 2026-27 season.

Out with a blood clot
Jakstys (shoulder) has a blood clot in his shoulder and will miss Thursday's game versus Washington as a result, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact
Jakstys will miss his second straight game Thursday, but it would not be surprising if he missed more given the nature of his ailment. Blood clots are generally treated very seriously and cautiously, so there is no real timetable for Jakstys' return at this time. The freshman has only appeared briefly in nine games this season, so his absence will not make a major impact on Thursday's contest or in upcoming games if he's forced to miss more time.

Ruled out Saturday
Jakstys (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Purdue.
Impact
Jakstys has been a depth piece in the frontcourt for Illinois this season, so his role isn't significant, so he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside. He's averaged just 1.3 points and 1.9 boards across 5.3 minutes per game in nine outings off the bench this season.

Impact
Unfortunately for Jakstys, he is in concussion protocol. But by doing some light work in Illinois' recent practices, he has presented himself as potentially available for Saturday. Jakstys is averaging 2.2 rebounds in 6.8 minutes through five games with the Fighting Illini this season.
