Tilmon spent the 2025-26 NBA G League season with the Wisconsin Herd where he avareged 6.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game. He has also played professionally in China, the Dominican Republic, Japan, South Korea, Kuwait and Romania throughout his six-year career.
“The addition of Jeremiah gives our group an experienced winner up front,” said Sea Bears head coach and general manager Mike Raimbault in a statement. “We are looking forward to his ability to play with physicality and lead from the centre position.”
Tilmon has also represented his country as a member of USA Basketball’s men’s World Cup qualifying team in both 2025 and 2026. Prior to turning pro, he was a standout at the University of Missouri (2017-21) where he earned Second Team All-SEC honours as a senior.
The Sea Bears open the season on the road against the Edmonton Stingers on May 9. Their home opener takes place May 16 at the Canada Life Centre against the visiting Saskatchewan Mamba.
