Illinois' Marcus Domask signs with Bulls – NBC Sports Chicago

The Chicago Bulls moved quickly after the NBA Draft to sign players to their roster, signing former Illinois forward Marcus Domask to an Exhibit 10 contract.

Before the 2023-24 season, Domask transferred to Illinois after four seasons at SIU. In 38 games for the Illini, he averaged 15.9 points and five rebounds per game.

He recorded a triple-double in his team's opening game of the NCAA Tournament against Morehead State and scored 22 points in the second round against Duquesne, helping the Illini to an appearance in the Elite Eight.

Domask was denied another year of eligibility by the NCAA this offseason, allowing him to still sign with a professional team.

His teammate Terrence Shannon Jr. was selected 27th in the Minnesota Timberwolves draft, becoming the first Illinois player to be selected in the first round in over a decade.

An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year contract that can be signed during the offseason when the maximum roster size increases to 21 players under the league's collective bargaining agreement.

If Domask is released before the regular season, he will be designated as an “affiliate player” with the Bulls retaining his G League rights. He could then choose to play with the Windy City Bulls and ultimately be eligible for his full bonus if he stays with the team for 60 days, according to Hoops Rumors.

If Domask were to go abroad, he would not be entitled to the bonus.

The Bulls could also convert the contract into a two-way deal before the season, which would secure the bonus immediately.

Domask is expected to play for the team's Summer League squad.
