Bulls' Yuki Kawamura: Signs two-way deal with Chicago
The Bulls signed Kawamura to a two-way contract Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Kawamura made a significant impression during his time in the Las Vegas Summer League, playing in five games. He averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old spent the 2024-25 campaign with the Grizzlies but rarely saw the floor, averaging 4.2 minutes across 22 regular-season games.

Bulls' Yuki Kawamura: Double-doubles in win
Kawamura racked up 20 points (6-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 105-92 Summer League win against the Jazz.
Kawamura finished his stint in the Las Vegas Summer League strongly, hitting a game-high six three-pointers to go along with a game-high 10 assists. The Japanese import continues to prove he can play on the NBA level as a capable distributor and three-point shooter.

Bulls' Yuki Kawamura: Double-doubles off bench
Kawamura notched 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 assists, one rebound and three steals in 28 minutes of Tuesday's 114-105 Summer League win over the Pacers.
Kawamura, who was on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies in 2024-25, appeared in 22 regular-season games at the NBA level. He was a standout for the Memphis Hustle in the G League, however, so it's not a surprise to see him make an impression on the Bulls during the Summer League.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Transferred to Memphis
The Memphis Hustle transferred Kawamura to the Grizzlies ahead of their NBA matchup against the Lakers on Saturday.
Kawamura has been a standout with the Hustle, averaging 12.0 points, 7.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game. He'll likely be an emergency depth option for the Grizzlies in their backcourt.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Out again Friday
Kawamura (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Kawamura has yet to recover from a right sore hamstring, and the 23-year-old guard doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Sunday.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Won't play Monday
Kawamura (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Kawamura has yet to appear in a game since the All-Star break and doesn't figure to see much run with the parent organization down the stretch of the season. He will likely spend the majority of his time in the G League when he is healthy.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Rare appearance in win
Kawamura closed Wednesday's 138-107 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over four minutes.
Kawamura appeared for just the third time in the past 14 games, all of which have been during garbage time only. Given the current depth in Memphis, Kawamura would need a miracle to have any chance of playing a meaningful role this season.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Makes brief cameo in return
Kawamura (shoulder) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across two minutes in Monday's 119-104 win over the Mavericks.
Kawamura made his return to action after missing the Grizzlies' previous three games with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was technically part of head coach Taylor Jenkins' rotation Monday, as Kawamura entered the game with 4:54 left in the first quarter before checking out with 2:36 remaining after committing his second foul. Kawamura didn't re-enter the contest at any point after that, so he'll likely find himself back outside of the rotation Thursday versus the Rockets, barring the banged-up Grizzlies losing another player to an injury.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Available Monday
Kawamura (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
The two-way player will fight off a shoulder injury to play Monday, but Kawamura isn't guaranteed to handle significant playing time off the bench. With that said, he may see more minutes than usual, as Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (ankle) are both out against Dallas.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Probable for Monday
Kawamura (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Kawamura has missed the last three games due to a left-shoulder sprain, but he is likely to return to action Monday. With numerous Grizzlies players sidelined, Kawamura would return to a perfect scenario to see some run, but it remains unlikely he will be fantasy-viable.

Kawamura (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Kawamura will miss his third straight game Saturday due to a left shoulder sprain. He didn't see much playing time off the bench before his injury, so his absence has had a minimal impact on the Grizzlies' bench rotation.

Kawamura (shoulder) won't play Tuesday against the Suns.

Grizzlies' Yuki Kawamura: Iffy for Tuesday
Kawamura (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Kawamura is dealing with left shoulder soreness, and he is in jeopardy of joining Ja Morant (shoulder) and Marcus Smart (finger) on the sideline Tuesday. Kawamura played a season-high 11 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder, during which he posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists. The rookie should see increased playing time if he's able to suit up, as a laundry list of Grizzlies players have already been ruled out.

Kawamura had no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 124-107 victory over the 76ers.
Kawamura remains scoreless in his NBA career, logging fewer than five minutes for the sixth straight game. Other than being a feel-good story, Kawamura is unlikely to play meaningful minutes anytime soon.
