Chicago Bulls’ Yuki Kawamura shines with a profiled résumé
At 24 and standing 5‑foot‑8, Kawamura brings lightning-quick playmaking and international pedigree to Chicago. He spent last season on a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 1.6 points and 0.9 assists in limited NBA action across 22 games, while flashing in the G League—posting 12.4 PPG, 7.8 APG and 2.7 RPG in 31 minutes per game for the Memphis Hustle.
But his résumé extends far beyond the G League. A former B‑League MVP in Japan with the Yokohama B‑Corsairs, Kawamura has also represented Team Japan on the international stage. He starred at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, delivering 13.6 PPG and 7.6 APG, including a 25-point, 9‑assist performance in a win over Finland, helping Japan secure the ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics. In the ensuing tournament in Paris, he averaged 20.3 points and 7.7 assists during the group stage, including a 29‑point, 7‑assist explosive performance that forced France to overtime.
