Former Illinois Prep Athletes and their NBA Performances- March 10 Recap

Full recap of former Illinois prep athletes and their NBA performance on March 10.

1–2 minutes

Wednesday evening, two former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in a NBA game. These two players are the first to see playing time post-All-Star Break. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from March 10.

Best of the Day: Jalen Brunson

The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs are among the league leaders in bench points this season. The Spurs had the edge in the game but Brunson’s bench contributions helped propelled the Mavs to victory.
