NBL EXPERIENCE
Malcolm Bernard made his NBL debut with the South East Melbourne Phoenix at 28 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.
The 2022/23 NBL season for Malcolm Bernard was brief but impactful as he stepped in as a replacement player for the South East Melbourne Phoenix, filling the gap left by Trey Kell III, who suffered a broken rib during the pre-season. Bernard’s addition provided a temporary yet essential reinforcement for the Phoenix, contributing in three games during a season plagued by injuries for the team.
Despite limited opportunities, Bernard averaged 4.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals across his appearances, showcasing his defensive abilities and willingness to adapt to the team’s needs. His arrival came during a turbulent period for the Phoenix, who faced continual lineup disruptions due to injuries to key players such as Gary Browne, Ryan Broekhoff, and Zhou Qi. These challenges forced South East Melbourne to shuffle their rotations regularly, relying on contributions from temporary signings and lesser-known players.
In the games Bernard participated in, he demonstrated his ability to contribute across various facets of the game, adding depth to the team’s bench while maintaining intensity on both ends of the court. While his statistics were modest, Bernard’s efforts underscored the importance of role players in managing the grueling demands of an injury-plagued season.
The Phoenix’s season was ultimately defined by inconsistency and setbacks, with the team finishing fifth on the ladder (15-13) and bowing out in the Play-In Qualifier against the Perth Wildcats. However, Bernard’s short stint with South East Melbourne highlighted his capability as a versatile player able to step into high-level competition on short notice. His performance was a testament to the depth required to navigate a challenging NBL season.
Malcolm Bernard played one season in the NBL. He averaged 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 3 NBL games.
