He has last played professionally in Italy for Kinder Bologna (2002), Montepaschi Siena (2002–2003), Lottomatica Roma (2003–2004) and Casti Group Varese (2004-2005).

Bowdler is the only player in the modern era of basketball to commit seven personal fouls during an National Basketball Association game.

This happened because the scorekeeper didn"t realize seven fouls had been committed until after the game was over.
