Yuki Kawamura returns to duty in Chicago
After playing Summer League, then the preseason with the Bulls – where he once again showed his creative quality and his threat from behind the arc – Yuki Kawamura was terminated shortly before the resumption of the regular season. To explain this choice, Chicago then had mentioned a “medical problem” on the right foot, and the Japanese international leader (1m72) was released in favor of a winger Trentin Flowers.
Less than four months later, the situation has changed. Injuries to Josh Giddy and Kobe White, which weakened the Bulls at the No. 1 position, prompted the front office to recall the Japanese.
The news was made official yesterday: Yuki Kawamura is returning to Chicago and taking on a “two-way deal” with Trentin Flowers. The opportunity is clear: regain rhythm and confidence in the G-League with the Windy City Bulls, while establishing himself as an option if Billy Donovan needs a first-team boost.
Unveiled at the 2024 Paris Olympics – including a spectacular performance against France, which ran away on a last-minute 3+1 from Matthew Strazel – Yuki Kawamura played in 2024/25. for Memphis, with 22 NBA games with the Grizzlies and 31 in the G-League before him.
“Thanks to the Bulls for giving me another chance. I’m very excited to be back.”he reacted on his X/Twitter account. Now all that’s left to do is change your profile picture to a Memphis jersey…
