The Bulls have waived two-way guard Yuki Kawamura, the team announced (via Twitter).
According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network (Twitter link), the Bulls’ PR department specified that Kawamura was released due to a medical condition. As Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic tweets, the Japanese point guard had quickly become a fan favorite in Chicago, but was ruled out earlier this preseason due to right lower leg pain.
The Bulls will fill their two-way vacancy by signing free agent wing Trentyn Flowers, agents Mike Silverman and Troy Payne tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
