Yuki Kawamura Out for Grizzlies Due to Shoulder Soreness

Yuki Kawamura Out for Grizzlies Due to Shoulder Soreness

Yuki Kawamura, the point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is currently dealing with left shoulder soreness. As a result, he will not be able to play for the team. This injury has been affecting him since December 30, 2024. His status remains out as he continues to recover.

What It Means

Kawamura’s absence impacts the Grizzlies’ depth at the point guard position. Though his season stats include 1.6 points per game and a field goal percentage of 40%, he recently showed potential against Oklahoma City Thunder with 10 points in just 11 minutes on the court.

The Grizzlies have other options at point guard like Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, and Scotty Pippen Jr. Morant leads with an average of 21.2 points per game and plays around 27.6 minutes each game. The team will rely on these players until Kawamura can return.
