Sophomore season
He joined the Illini for the 2024–25 season. However, due to playing professionally, the NCAA took one year of eligibility from him, effectively treating him as a sophomore.[2] Throughout the season he was plagued by health issues, as he suffered an ankle injury and missed several practices and games due to mononucleosis and the flu.[3][4] Following the conclusion of the Big Ten regular season, he received an honorable mention from the media for the All-Big Ten awards.[5]
Junior season
Prior to the start of his junior season, Ivišić underwent a tonsillectomy.[6] He recovered in time to play in the opening game of the season.[7] He later injured his knee in practice and missed the next three games.[8][9][10]
