Yuki Kawamura also suffers from venous thrombosis
Victor Vembaniama, Damian Lillard, Cam Whitmore and maintenant Yuki Kawamura. The Japanese added his name to the list of players suffering from venous thrombosis in the last year. We just found out about it and have a better understanding of why within three months Chicago was able to cut him and then re-sign him.
A quick reminder of the facts: in October 2025, when he was playing Summer League and then the preseason with the Bulls, the playmaker was traded.
The Chicago franchise justified his choice with a “medical issue” in his right leg, without saying more. then, two days agowe learned that Yuki Kawamura is returning to Illinois on a “two-way contract.”
Our colleague KC Johnson spoke to Billy Donovan and can confirm that the Japanese was in fact suffering from the same injury as the Spurs center or Wizards guard. He remained in Chicago for treatment and, as soon as he was given the medical green light, the Bulls came to bring him back to the fold. Nice gesture.
