Helps ice game from charity stripe Boswell recorded six points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 65-55 win over Houston.

Impact Boswell didn't register a single successful field-goal attempt, but the senior guard managed to hit a few clutch free throws late to help ice the game for the Illini. Boswell may not be playing at the same level he was prior to missing a seven-game stretch due to a fractured hand, as he's averaging 10.3 ppg in three NCAA Tournament games and has hit the 15-point mark just once in 10 games since his return from injury. That said, this is an incredibly efficient Illinois offense that spreads the ball around, so he's not always needed as an offensive catalyst.

Most points since return Boswell chipped in 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 95-94 OT loss to UCLA.

Impact After missing a seven-game stretch due to a fractured right hand, Boswell has returned to his regular role, getting minutes at both backcourt positions for the Illini. In the three games since his return, the senior has logged 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists and is shooting 40.6 percent from the floor, but Saturday's scoring output was his best since Jan. 14. With Illinois looking to secure a top seed in March, having Boswell in the mix gives the squad another scorer and improves overall guard depth.

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.

Will be game-time decision Boswell (hand) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Indiana, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

Impact Sunday marks Boswell's first legitimate chance to be available for Illinois since fracturing his right hand. He has sat out seven games, a stretch that the Fighting Illini started out well before losing back-to-back matchups at Michigan State and Wisconsin. Boswell is not only one of Illinois' best defenders but also a versatile perimeter player, so having him available against Indiana should boost the Illini's chances of fending off Indiana.

Slated for doctor's visit this week Boswell (hand) is slated for a doctor's appointment this week and has a shot to return Sunday, per Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette.

Impact Boswell was practicing without contact as of last week, and he appears to be trending closer and closer towards a return as he's slated for a doctor's visit this week after Illinois' clash with Wisconsin. There's a chance the guard, who's missed six straight games, could potentially return as early as Sunday against Indiana.

Practicing without contact Boswell (hand) is participating in practice but without live contact, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Boswell, who's missed five straight games, was expected to miss around three week with his hand ailment. In the time he's missed, Illinois has surged, going 5-0. The senior guard remains without an exact timetable for a return, but he's clearly progressing in his recovery. This is excellent news for an Illini squad that's catching fire at the right time.
