That's it! Farewell, Yuki Kawamura! He has spent two years in the NBA.

US media The Consensus reports:The Bulls are not expected to extend a qualifying offer to Yuki Kawamura, meaning he will become an unrestricted free agent.

This player appeared in 34 regular-season games last season, averaging 11.6 minutes, 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, with shooting splits of 32.9%, 29.7%, and 89.5%.

A well-known Chinese media personality commented that if no NBA team invites Yuki Kawamura to Summer League, he might play in the third window of the World Cup qualifiers this July. On July 3, Japan's men's basketball team will face China away, and on July 6, they will face South Korea away.

Yuki Kawamura's last appearance for Japan's national team was at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he posted averages of 20.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1 steal per game. He then went to the US to chase his dream, securing two-way contracts with the Grizzlies and the Bulls over two years, but spent most of his time playing in the NBA G League.

Actually, Kawamura's performance in the G League was quite remarkable. Last season with the Windy City Bulls, he averaged 18.7 points, 5 rebounds, and 11 assists per game, shooting 35.7%, 34.9%, and 87.5%. With such stats, it's hard to believe no team would invite him to Summer League... Let's wait and see. He is currently training with Japan's national team but has clearly stated he won't play in the third window of the World Cup qualifiers—could be a smokescreen.

It's worth noting that at least two Chinese players will be seen in this year's Summer League. The new domestic scoring champion, Guo Haowen, is confirmed to play for the Kings, and Yang Hansen will suit up for the Trail Blazers for the second time.

The Kings' schedule is as follows:

July 10, vs Clippers;

July 13, vs Wizards;

July 15, vs Nets;

July 16, vs Celtics.

The Trail Blazers' schedule is as follows:

July 11, vs Suns;

July 13, vs Magic;

July 14, vs Timberwolves;

July 17, vs Nuggets.
