Memphis Grizzlies sign Paris Olympics Japanese standout Yuki Kawamura
By Ryan General
The Memphis Grizzlies announced Friday the signing of several new players ahead of their training camp next month, including Yuki Kawamura, a point guard for Japan’s national team at the 2023 FIBA World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 23-year-old, 5’8″ point guard has spent the last five seasons with the Yokohama B-Corsairs, where he was named the 2022-23 most valuable player. Kawamura’s signing is an Exhibit 10 contract, which means he is not guaranteed a roster spot for the upcoming season. However, the Grizzlies have the option to convert his contract to a two-way deal, allowing him to play for both the NBA team and its G League affiliate.
