Yuki Kawamura's Performance in Grizzlies' G League Game Goes Viral

The Memphis Grizzlies took a flyer on Yuki Kawamura in undrafted free agency this offseason, as the 5-foot-8 Japanese point guard quickly became a fan favorite.

Kawamura played in the 2024 Paris Olympics for the Japan National Team, making a name for himself as he averaged 20.3 points and 7.7 assists through three games. Memphis signed the 23-year-old guard to a two-way contract after Kawamura put on a show in the preseason, highlighted by a ten-point, seven-assist outing.

Kawamura has recently spent more time with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle. In Wednesday's matchup with the Oscealo Magic, Orlando's affiliate, Kawamura put on a show. In a commanding win, Kawamura dropped an impressive 15 points and 16 assists. The Japanese phenom has gone viral across social media with his absurd G League performance.
