Bulls Sign 5'8" Kawamura to Two-Way Deal

Japanese point guard Yuki Kawamura has signed a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls after excelling in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, averaging 10.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.2 steals over five games. At 5-foot-8, Kawamura is now the shortest player in the NBA, but he has impressed with his court vision, creativity, and relentless drive, earning the nickname 'passing wizard.' Previously with the Memphis Grizzlies on a two-way contract, he spent most of last season in the G League and developed a reputation as a crafty playmaker. Kawamura's emotional farewell to Chicago after Summer League and his viral highlight clips sparked fan campaigns urging the Bulls to offer him a full contract. Social media buzzed with praise, with some comparing him to Isaiah Thomas and predicting he will draw attention to the Bulls' G League affiliate. The Bulls see Kawamura as a promising developmental asset and a fan favorite with growing popularity.
