Following an impressive string of summer league performances, the Chicago Bulls have signed point guard Yuki Kawamura to a two-way contract per ESPN's Shams Charania. To make room for the 5-foot-8 guard, the Bulls have subsequently waived Jahmir Young, who was signed to a two-way deal in February.
Kawamura averaged 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 2.2 steals in 23.9 minutes per game across five appearances for the summer league Bulls. Kawamura ranked seventh amongst summer league participants in assists and 20th in steals.
The Japanese guard's best performance left a lasting impression. Kawamura scored 20 points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out 10 assists in Chicago's summer league finale against the Utah Jazz.
