Andrej Stojakovic and Stefan Vaaks each score 20 as No. 3 Illinois beats Fairleigh Dickinson 120-45

Andrej Stojakovic and Stefan Vaaks each scored 20 points as No. 3 Illinois opened its season with a 120-45 win over Fairleigh Dickinson

Set for big role early Ivisic led the Illini with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebound, an assist and a block across 20 minutes in Wednesday's exhibition victory over Illino...

Impact Ivisic was one of seven Illinois players in double figures in what ended up being a rout of a lesser in-state program. It was a good bounce-back effort for the 7-1 senior, who was held to two points on 0-of-6 shooting in the prior exhibition game against Baylor. Look for Ivisic to carry much of the early-season frontcourt load for Illinois, as David Mirkovic, who was already dealing with a foot issue, underwent an emergency appendectomy Saturday night.

Will play in exhibition Ivisic (leg) will play in Wednesday's exhibition game against Illinois-Chicago, according to Tristan Thomas of WCIA 3.

Impact Ivisic's availability comes at a relieving and opportune time. Illinois' team is dealing with injuries to most of its European stars, including his brother Zvonimir Ivisic (head), David Mirkovic (foot) and Andrej Stojakovic (head). The exhibition should not only allow the healthy Ivisic to acclimate but also step up in his injured teammates' absence. Ivisic is plenty capable of excelling, having averaged 10.4 points and 5.6 rebounds across his 34 games (33 starts) with the same star-studded cast last year.

Leaves game with leg issue Ivisic went to the locker room after suffering an apparent left-leg injury and limping off the court Friday, according to Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com.

Impact Ivisic missing time would be a significant blow for Illinois given his expected role on both ends of the floor in the frontcourt. His status will be worth monitoring after he was able to leave the floor under his own power, though it remains to be seen whether he'll return to the hardwood and finish the game. Illinois could very well decide to take a cautious approach since the regular season is starting in less than two weeks.

Arrives in Champaign Ivisic has arrived in Champaign after previously being delayed by a visa issue, Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette reports.

Impact Ivisic's visa issue has been resolved as he has returned to Illinois. The 7-foot-1 big man is back and should return to practice, ready to build on last season after averaging 10.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game across 34 contests. His arrival is a positive sign for his preseason availability as the Fighting Illini continue to get ready for the 2026-27 season.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with visa issue Ivisic is still in Croatia dealing with a visa issue that currently prevents him from returning to the United States, per Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette.

Impact Ivisic is dealing with an issue that is currently preventing him from returning to the country, though it's reportedly not considered to be a cause for concern for the moment. The 7-foot-1 big man is coming off a season in which he scored 10.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game across 34 contests for the Fighting Illini. His status will certainly be worth keeping an eye on as the start of the 2026-27 season draws closer.

AUGUST 2 • SI.COM

Returning to Illinois Ivisic will return to Illinois for the 2026-27 season, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com.

Impact Ivisic was unable to repeat the impressive numbers he posted in his first year with the program, but he was solid in 2025-26 with 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.6 blocks per contest. He should play a key role for Illinois in 2026-27 once again.

Efficient day in huge win Ivisic ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 78-69 win over Nebraska.

Impact Ivisic bounced back from a rough shooting outing in Illinois' win over Washington, in which he went just 3-of-11 from distance, with a very solid day in a monster win over Nebraska. Aside from the scoring, aided by two triples, he pulled down eight boards and dished out three assists. He's been developing as a passer as of late, as he has three dimes in three of his last four games. Truly big production outings are few and far between for Ivisic, but he remains a key piece for the Illini.
