Rare appearance in win Kawamura closed Wednesday's 138-107 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over four minutes.

Impact Kawamura appeared for just the third time in the past 14 games, all of which have been during garbage time only. Given the current depth in Memphis, Kawamura would need a miracle to have any chance of playing a meaningful role this season.

Makes brief cameo in return Kawamura (shoulder) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across two minutes in Monday's 119-104 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Kawamura made his return to action after missing the Grizzlies' previous three games with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was technically part of head coach Taylor Jenkins' rotation Monday, as Kawamura entered the game with 4:54 left in the first quarter before checking out with 2:36 remaining after committing his second foul. Kawamura didn't re-enter the contest at any point after that, so he'll likely find himself back outside of the rotation Thursday versus the Rockets, barring the banged-up Grizzlies losing another player to an injury.

Available Monday Kawamura (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact The two-way player will fight off a shoulder injury to play Monday, but Kawamura isn't guaranteed to handle significant playing time off the bench. With that said, he may see more minutes than usual, as both Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane are out against Dallas.

Probable for Monday Kawamura (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Iffy for Tuesday Kawamura (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Kawamura played a season-high 11 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder, during which he posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists. The rookie should see increased playing time if he's able to suit up Tuesday, with a laundry list of Grizzlies players already having been ruled out.
