Braelen Bridges, Georgia's second-leading scorer, reveals plans for 2022-23 season
Braelen Bridges was Georgia’s second-leading scorer and rebounder in 2021-22, but after the season, he became one of many Bulldogs to either enter the NBA Draft or the transfer portal.
Bridges was part of the former group, declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft. But, now, he’s made his final decision.
As you can see below, Bridges took to Twitter on Monday to reveal he was pulling his name out of the draft pool and returning to Georgia:
