DOMNICK Bridgewater’s season in France’s NM3 League came to an early end due to COVID-19, but he received the call-up for another promotion in the For-Sur-Mer Provence basketball system.
Bridgewater joined Jaraun “Kino” Burrows and Jonathan Augustin-Fairell on the Byers’ Pro B roster for the remainder of the season. He made his debut in Wednesday night’s 103-72 win over Gries-Oberhoffen. The Byers improved to 9-3.
The 20-year-old point guard played limited minutes in his debut and finished with four points and three assists.
The Byers was placed on loan to Sapela Basket 13 last offseason, his first in the NM2 League. He averaged 16.7 points and 10.4 assists per game with three double doubles in four games.
The first Bahamain to sign a professional basketball contract straight out of high school, he spent his first season as a member of the club’s Epoirs (Junior League – U21).
In 28 games, he averaged 15.7 points, 4.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game.
After a promising start to his second season in the U-21 ranks, he was made eligible to the A roster with a call-up to participate in the LNB Pro B Leaders Cup. The team was eliminated in the semifinals to Nancy.
At the time of his call-up, Bridgewater dominated the NM3 league with 23.7 points and 7.5 assists per game. He began his pro career with the Byers’ Epoirs (Junior League – U21) and NM3 League teams in March 2019.
