Overview
- Chicago finalized a two-way contract with Kawamura this week after he was cleared to play by team and league doctors.
- He completed a 12-week treatment for a lower-right-leg blood clot, stayed in Chicago during recovery, and was held out of contact until clearance.
- The signing fills the two-way slot opened when the Bulls waived Trentyn Flowers, as first reported by HoopsHype.
- Head coach Billy Donovan said the team planned to bring Kawamura back once healthy, and the guard has been practicing with the Windy City Bulls.
- Kawamura offers immediate backcourt depth as Josh Giddey remains out with a hamstring injury and Coby White has been listed as questionable, following a prior two-way stint with Memphis and strong G League and Summer League showings.
