Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is having fun with his new teammate.
The Memphis Grizzlies announced last week that the team had signed Japanese guard Yuki Kawamura to a two-way contract. The 5-foot-8 playmaker had been with the Grizzlies throughout training camp and the preseason.
Kawamura’s promotion to a two-way deal came after Scotty Pippen Jr. was signed to a standard roster spot. NBA legend Derrick Rose vacated that final spot on the Grizzlies roster when he announced his retirement. “The Memphis Grizzlies today announced the team promoted guard Yuki Kawamura to a two-way contract,” the team wrote in a statement. “Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Kawamura appeared in all five preseason games as a reserve for the Grizzlies and averaged 3.4 points and 4.2 assists in 15.1 minutes after initially signing with Memphis on September 6.”Kawamura has a massive fanbase, and this post from the Grizzlies tallied over six million views on X.
Kawamura will likely spend a good amount of time with the Memphis Hustle, the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate. When he is with the NBA club, Kawamura will be a fan favorite.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
