TOKYO - The San Diego Clippers have not set a timetable for Yuki Kawamura's return after he injured his right leg during the team's G League season opener, a team official said Sunday.
The Japan national basketball team guard was in the San Diego starting lineup for Friday's 129-126 win over the visiting Valley Suns and recorded eight points, three assists and one steal before sustaining the injury midway through the second quarter.
Kawamura did not return to the court and watched the rest of the game from the bench while wearing a brace around his calf and ankle area.
He was later seen walking with a limp but smiled as he stopped to sign autographs for fans.
The 25-year-old was waived by the Los Angeles Clippers before the start of the NBA season and subsequently signed with their affiliate in the developmental G League.
Kawamura, who has had NBA stints with the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls, has stated a goal of earning a full-time NBA contract via the G League.
