NORFOLK, Va. – Former Old Dominion men’s basketball star Kent Bazemore is back in town and caught up with senior associate athletic director Ted Alexander to bring Monarch Nation up to date.
Bazemore recently agreed to a four-year, $70 million contract that will keep him with the Atlanta Hawks.
Bazemore (’12) spent his first two seasons with the Golden State Warriors, before playing the 2013-14 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He has played the past two seasons for the Atlanta Hawks.
