Would make absolutely no actual sense if he got the exemption but there’s hardly a governing body to stop it anyway.
Xavier Johnson played last night at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. This is a pre-NBA draft camp reserved for college seniors and is invite only. Pretty prestigious tournament and it's an honor to be invited. I remember Darren Brooks playing in it years ago. Not sure what other Salukis we have had participate.
X did his usual stat-stuffing. In 23 minutes, he contributed 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. His team won the game and he was a positive 13 on the +/-. Full box score:
Some other familiar names playing in this year's tournament:
Marcus Domask (SIU/Illinois)
Sean East (JALC/Mizzou)
DJ Horne (Illinois St/NC State)
Malevy Leons (Bradley)
Jamarion Sharp (JALC/WKU/Ole Miss)
X's team will play again tomorrow at 7pm (EST) and then again on Saturday at either 5pm or 7pm. Looks like the games can be streamed for free here: https://go.prepspin.com/

How does he get the exemption when his injury was during the covid season anyway? It was a free year lol that's BS
Seems like Domask had his waiver denied. He shouts out SIU and Mullins in this tweet:
Now that you won’t be wearing those god awful colors, good luck in all you do Marcus!
Nice that he threw us a crumb when he will forever be remembered as an Illini. You all may not like it, but that's reality. Thank God I don't have to hear the fawning over him for another year.
Looks like it's going to be Europe for Domask. Surprised he didn't get a look at an NBA camp or G League.
Cool to see X getting a pre-draft workout. Domask and Lance have gotten some workouts as well with teams:

Former walk-on JR Jacobs signed with New Orleans according to his instagram
Good for him. I think he can definitely play at the low D1 level. He is small but his athleticism is through the roof.Former walk-on JR Jacobs signed with New Orleans according to his instagram
