Yuki Kawamura Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Clippers have waived guard Yuki Kawamura, ending his training camp bid for a roster spot. The 25-year-old signed an Exhibit 10 deal in August after averaging 8.2 points and 4.8 assists across five Summer League games with Indiana. Kawamura appeared in 18 games for Chicago last season, posting 3.4 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes while shooting 32.7 percent from the field. His departure does little to change a Clippers backcourt led by Darius Garland and Kris Dunn, with rookie Keaton Wagler also competing for minutes. Kawamura could still continue his season in the G-League after being waived.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Yuki Kawamura was included on Japan's 17-man list for the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, joining new Clippers teammate Rui Hachimura ahead of the late-August window. Kawamura signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Los Angeles after playing Summer League with Indiana, so he still has to earn a regular-season roster spot. The 25-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 2.6 assists in 18 games for Chicago last season, then posted 18.7 points and 11.0 assists in 11 G-League games with Windy City. His passing is real, but with a crowded Clippers guard room, Kawamura remains off the fantasy radar.

The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Yuki Kawamura to an Exhibit 10 contract, giving him another training camp opportunity after two limited NBA seasons. The 5-foot-8 guard spent last season with the Chicago Bulls, appearing in 18 games while averaging 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 11.6 minutes on 32.7 percent shooting. Kawamura also played for Indiana in the Las Vegas Summer League, including a 12-assist outing against New Orleans. The path to a roster spot remains narrow, as the Clippers already have all three two-way slots filled. Kawamura's passing keeps him interesting for organizational depth, but there is no fantasy value to chase.

The Chicago Bulls have signed guard Yuki Kawamura to a two-way deal over the weekend. This doesn't come as a shock given how well Kawamura has been playing in the summer league. In five summer league contests, Kawamura averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 23.9 minutes per game. The 24-year-old saw limited action during his rookie season with the Memphis Grizzlies last year. He averaged 1.6 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 4.2 minutes per game in 22 games. Honestly, it wasn't enough playing time to give Kawamura a fair assessment. It's unclear how much he'll actually play in Chicago, but he has earned a chance to show what he can do.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Yuki Kawamura (shoulder) has only played 15 games with the Grizzlies this season, but the two-way player will be able to play after being listed as probable with a left shoulder sprain. He has been out for the past three games and is only averaging 3.3 minutes per contest. Kawamura could potentially see a few more minutes with both Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (ankle) sidelined, but Luke Kennard (hamstring) will be available after initially being ruled out, so the veteran could take some of the extra usage as well. Rookie Cam Spencer has also been getting time while Kawamura has been sidelined and could be competition for minutes on the end of the Grizzlies bench in the backcourt.
