After helping lead Illinois to its first Elite 8 in 19 years, Marcus Domask spent a year in the NBA’s G-League.
But he’s enjoying Europe.
After spending a season in Germany, Domask told me he’s a free agent and looking to find another team overseas.
He said, “Germany is a lot of schnitzel and bratwurst and stuff like that. I cook most of my meals, so I stay true to my American diet for the most part, but yeah, it’s different. You learn something new about one of your teammates and the culture and you know new experiences, so it’s just it’s a whole new like realm of life that you get to tap into on the daily, and it’s a lot of fun.”
At Illinois, Domask quickly became a fan favorite because of his booty-ball post moves, and scoring 16 PPG. The Southern Illinois transfer became an All-Big Ten player, which Domask said he wouldn’t have predicted before the season.
Domask still keeps in contact with the 2024 team, such as Coleman Hawkins and Luke Goode to name a few, despite being in German.
Domask told me, he’s considered a college coaching career after his playing days in Europe, but he wants to play as long as possible.
