WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Sea Bears of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced they have signed power forward Jaylin Williams for the 2025 season. Williams, 24, joins the Sea Bears after a standout career at Auburn University and a productive 2024-25 season in the NBA G League and NBA Summer League. Known for his consistency and versatility, Williams reunites with former G League Grand Rapids Gold teammate Tevian Jones by signing with the Sea Bears, adding more strength to the roster. Williams spent the 2024-25 season with the Grand Rapids Gold in the NBA G League, where he averaged 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes over 35 games. He recorded a season-high 22 points and 7 rebounds on Jan. 20, 2025, against the Greensboro Swarm. Williams also appeared in the NBA Summer League with the Denver Nuggets, averaging 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.8 minutes across three games. During his five-year NCAA career at Auburn, Williams became a key player for the Tigers, appearing in 141 games and earning a reputation as one of the most consistent and versatile players in Auburn history. He finished his college career as Auburn’s all-time leader in games played (141) and ranks 21st in all-time scoring with 1,305 points. "​​I’m excited to join the Winnipeg Sea Bears for the 2025 season," said Jaylin Williams. "I’m ready to take my game to the next level with this talented team. I’m looking forward to bringing my adaptability and energy to the frontcourt. I’m especially excited to team up with Tevian again after we played together in Grand Rapids. We’ve built solid chemistry, and I’m confident that will help us on the court in Winnipeg. I’m ready to bring my best to the Sea Bears, fight for a championship and give the fans something special." “We are very excited about the addition of Jaylin Williams who brings talent and athleticism to our frontcourt," said Head Coach and General Manager Mike Taylor. “Jaylin has played well in Grand Rapids and at Auburn and we believe his skill set and versatility at the power forward and center positions will translate extremely well to Winnipeg and the CEBL. I also love the fact both Tevian and Jaylin have continuity from their teamwork with the Gold this G League season. That familiarity can help us as we build our team in Winnipeg.” Williams’ college accolades include being named SEC Player of the Week in December 2023, as well as being named to the All-SEC Second Team for the 2023-24 season. His leadership at Auburn helped the team secure 114 wins, making him the winningest player in the program’s history. Williams becomes the latest addition to the Sea Bears roster, joining a talented group of players as the team looks ahead to the 2025 season. The Sea Bears will tip off the 2025 season on May 16 at the Canada Life Centre. Don't miss the action! Secure your spot at the Championship Weekend by grabbing your Tournament Packs today! ###

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Sea Bears have made a major addition to their frontcourt, announcing Wednesday the signing of six-foot-10 forward Simi Shittu ahead of the 2025 season. The Britain born but Canadian raised big is known for his dominant rebounding and physical presence, Shittu brings international experience and a decorated career to Winnipeg as the team gears up for a championship push. “Simi is a go-to big that scores in a variety of ways. His defensive presence and rebounding make him a complete player,” said Mike Taylor, Head Coach and General Manager. “He is a key addition to our team as we rebuild our frontcourt with an eye for championship weekend. He impacts the game on both ends with his athleticism and versatility and has been extremely productive in our league. I think our Sea Bears fans will love to see Simi patrolling the paint this summer.” Shittu previously played in the CEBL with the Calgary Surge during the 2023 season, where he earned All-CEBL First Team and CEBL All-Canadian Team honours. He led the league in rebounding that year, averaging 9.5 rebounds per game while also contributing 14.6 points per contest. His dominance on the glass was highlighted by a season-high 17 rebounds against the Vancouver Bandits on June 3 while his 32-point, 15-rebound performance against Winnipeg cemented his reputation as one of the league’s most dominant interior forces. Following his standout CEBL season, Shittu gained further professional experience across Europe, suiting up for top-tier clubs in Turkey, Greece and France. Shittu’s ability to control the glass and provide an inside presence will be a crucial asset for Winnipeg. The Sea Bears are looking to build on their success from the previous season, and adding an elite rebounder and experienced pro like Shittu helps solidify their frontcourt depth. “I’m looking forward to playing in what I heard is the best atmosphere in the CEBL,” said Shittu. “Winnipeg has always been a tough place to play, and I’m looking forward to being on the other side of that energy. I’m ready to get to work and help bring a championship to the Sea Bears.” Shittu’s basketball resume is equally impressive on the international stage. He represented Canada at the 2017 FIBA Under-17 World Cup and was named a McDonald’s All-American in 2018 before playing collegiately at Vanderbilt University. With his size, athleticism and defe n sive versatility, Shittu is expected to be a key contributor for the Sea Bears throughout the 2025 CEBL season . The Sea Bears tip-off their 2025 season on May 16 against the Edmonton Stingers. Single game tickets are on sale now.

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Sea Bears of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced today they have re-signed Canadian point guard Mason Bourcier for the 2025 season. Bourcier returns to the Sea Bears after a strong 2024 season and a productive winter overseas. Bourcier, 25, spent the 2024-25 season with Tartu Ulikool Maks & Moorits in Estonia, where he averaged 11.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 27 minutes over 12 games. He recorded a season-high 19 points in 31 minutes on Nov. 1 against BK Ventspils. During the 2024 CEBL season with the Sea Bears, Bourcier averaged 5.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 20.6 minutes across 21 games. He scored a season-high 13 points on two occasions, June 6 and July 5, both against the Montreal Alliance. Beyond the box score, Bourcier is known for his ability to elevate his teammates and make a meaningful impact on the game. “I couldn’t be more excited to return to the Sea Bears organization,” said Bourcier. “After a great experience overseas and having some time to prepare for this upcoming season, I’ve never felt better and I’m ready to take a big step with this organization. The fan base is world-class and I have faith this team can win a championship this summer in front of the best fans in the league.” Sea Bears head coach and general manager Mike Taylor expressed his enthusiasm for Bourcier’s return. “Mason Bourcier plays with fire and determination, makes his teammates better, and is a connector for our team. We loved seeing him attack the rim and dive on the floor for loose balls to make plays last year. Mason will give us continuity in our backcourt at point guard and combo guard. We are really excited about his return.” Bourcier becomes the third Canadian signed by the Sea Bears this season, joining Emmanuel Akot and Alex Campbell. The team also signed Tevian Jones on March 12, adding even more talent to an already strong roster. The Sea Bears will tip off the 2025 CEBL season on May 16 with their home opener against the Edmonton Stingers. Don’t miss out on the biggest basketball celebration of the summer!
