PHOENIX (AP) -- The Phoenix Suns have added guard Takuya Kawamura to their roster for the Las Vegas summer league.

 

The 6-foot-4 Kawamura averaged 20.4 points for Link Tochigi Brex of the Japanese Basketball League last season. In April, he decided not to play for the Japanese national team and instead pursue a spot in the NBA.

 

Kawamura's teammate Yuta Tabuse is the only Japanese player to play in the NBA. Tabuse was briefly a member of the Suns in the 2004-05 season. Kawamura, 23, had been a member of Japan's national team since 2005.

 

The Suns entry, coached by Phoenix assistant Dan Majerle, opens its six-game schedule Monday against Dallas.
