Cam Whitmore Injury News & Updates
Dec 6, 2025
Suiting up Saturday
Whitmore (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore is under the weather but will shake off his questionable tag Saturday. With Khris Middleton (knee), Corey Kispert (thumb), Tre Johnson (hip) and Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) all sidelined, Whitmore could see increased minutes against Atlanta. Over his last five outings, he's averaged 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 15.8 minutes per game.
Dec 5, 2025
Battling illness
Whitmore is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to illness.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has stepped into a sizeable role off the bench recently as the Wizards work through injuries to Tre Johnson (hip), Corey Kispert and, more recently, Bilal Coulibaly (oblique). All three have been ruled out for Saturday, and Khris Middleton (knee) is questionable, which means Whitmore could see an expanded role if available.
Dec 2, 2025
Posts 17 points in win
Whitmore supplied 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 129-126 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore will likely be called upon a lot more in the forseeable future due to the absences of Tre Johnson (hip) and Corey Kispert (thumb). While Whitmore's scoreless output just two games ago serves as a reminder of his inconsistent fantasy production, injuries to Washington's forwards have prompted him to step into an increased role, and could be under roster consideration moving forward, especially if he produces statlines like Monday's more often.
Nov 26, 2025
Drops a donut in win
Whitmore contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one block and one steal in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore went scoreless for just the second time this season, continuing what has been a wildly inconsistent campaign. While he does have the ability to get hot from the field, his temperament is simply too volatile to trust in fantasy circles. At this stage, he should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate, assuming you can catch him on the right night.
Nov 20, 2025
Drops an efficient 13 in loss
Whitmore accumulated 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has now dropped over 11 points in four of his last five games, averaging 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.6 stealsm 0.4 blocks and 1.2 threes in that span. He will continue to operate as one of Washington's main bench scorers, and could even see himself in the starting lineup in the event of injury.
Nov 13, 2025
Scores 11 points off bench
Whitmore produced 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore never had the chance to play regular minutes while with the Rockets, and he's clearly making the most of the opportunity now that he's with the Wizards. Whitmore has hit double-digit points in each of his last three appearances, averaging 16.7 points per game and shooting an impressive 54.5 percent from the floor in that span.
Nov 11, 2025
Scores season-high 20 points
Whitmore closed with 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore scored at least 19 points for the second straight game, reminding everyone what he can do on the offensive end of the floor. In typical fashion, however, he did very little to round out his performance. While the recent scoring surge has been nice, there is no reason to make him a priority outside of deeper formats.
Nov 8, 2025
Puts up 19 points in loss
Whitmore had 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore provided an unexpected 19-point outburst off the bench in this one and took full advantage of his chances after the team announced that both Khris Middleton (knee) and Bilal Coulibaly (lower leg) would miss Saturday's clash. This is clearly Whitemore's best showing of the young season so far, which comes after he barely saw the court Friday night. He was held scoreless (0-1 FG) and committed one turnover in five minutes during the blowout loss to Cleveland.
Oct 30, 2025
Rookie option exercised
The Wizards have exercised Whitmore's rookie option for the 2026-27 season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore is one of six Wizards to have their option exercised, joining Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, AJ Johnson and Kyshawn George. This Washington roster contains a lot of young players, and the front office is making it very evident they want to move forward and build with these pieces as they look to the future.
Oct 29, 2025
Just 13 minutes in loss
Whitmore posted nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two steals across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 overtime loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore played a season-low 13 minutes despite the game going into overtime. Coming into the season, he was seen as a potential late-round flyer, assuming he was going to be given an opportunity to play meaningful minutes. To this point, his role appears as though it could be limited, having played fewer than 20 minutes in three of his four appearances. For now, he is more of a watchlist candidate, rather than someone who needs to be rostered.
Oct 21, 2025
Absent from injury report
Whitmore (ankle) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore tweaked his ankle during the preseason, but he's all set for action Wednesday. The swingman is expected to play a significant role from the Wizards' second unit this year. Last regular season, Whitmore averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers per contest in 51 games.
Oct 16, 2025
Won't play Thursday
Whitmore (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore tweaked his ankle in Monday's win over New York and will be held out against Detroit as a precautionary measure. The 21-year-old forward's next opportunity to suit up will come in Washington's regular-season opener against Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Jul 5, 2025
Traded to Washington
The Rockets have traded Whitmore to the Wizards, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Houston will receive two second-round draft picks in exchange for Whitmore. The Villanova product will likely see a more significant role in Washington, as a promising young player set to play alongside veterans like CJ McCollum, Marcus Smart and Khris Middleton. During the 2024-25 campaign, Whitmore averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the floor and 35.5 percent from three-point range.
Apr 13, 2025
Back to bench role
Whitmore Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle during Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore started the Rockets' last two games but will return to the second unit for Sunday's regular-season finale. In 47 games in a reserve role, the Villanova product has averaged 8.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, shooting 42.4 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent from deep.
Apr 12, 2025
Explodes for 34 points in loss
Whitmore finished with 34 points (13-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 140-109 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets got obliterated by the Lakers on Friday, but Whitmore posted a solid stat line, as the second-year forward made the most of his expanded role in a game where Houston rested most of its starters. Whitmore should have a huge role on offense in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Nuggets if the Rockets decide to sit their starters again.
Apr 9, 2025
Jumps into starting lineup
Whitmore is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets are without several starters Wednesday, leaving a spot for Whitmore in the first unit. It'll be just his second start this season. In his other appearance with the first five, Whitmore logged 27 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks over 40 minutes.
Mar 31, 2025
Plays well off bench
Whitmore contributed 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 13 minutes during Sunday's 148-109 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Dillon Brooks was ejected after just 11 minutes, and the Rockets were already without Tari Eason (rest) on the front end of this back-to-back set. Whitmore has upside, but he's been used sparingly this season when the team is near full strength. Across 45 regular-season appearances, Whitmore has averaged 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 16.1 minutes.
Mar 9, 2025
Drops eight points in eight minutes
Whitmore notched eight points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two assists over eight minutes during Saturday's 146-117 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore made the most of his limited minutes, something he has been doing all season. Although his production has been adequate when compared to his minutes, the same cannot be said for the amount of time he has spent on the floor. Outside of a 27-point performance earlier in the week, Whitmore has played no more than 10 minutes in nine of the past 10 games, four of which he didn't even touch the court.
Mar 4, 2025
Back to bench Tuesday
Whitmore is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Pacers on Tuesday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore made his first start of the season Monday against the Thunder, and he finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 40 minutes. He'll return to his usual reserve role Tuesday due to multiple Houston starters returning from injury.
Mar 4, 2025
Leads Houston in loss
Whitmore closed with 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 137-128 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore stuffed the stat sheet Monday, leading the Rockets in points, rebounds, blocks, steals and playing time, albeit in a losing effort. The second-year forward received the starting nod for the first time during the 2024-25 campaign, as four of the club's usual starting five were sidelined. Whitmore also set a new season-high mark in rebounds en route to his second double-double of the season.
Mar 3, 2025
Part of first unit
Whitmore is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Thunder, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A plethora of injuries to Houston's starting lineup creates an opportunity for Whitmore to play significant minutes Monday. Whitmore has averaged 7.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 18.1 minutes in his last 10 games, but he's set for an uptick in playing time against Oklahoma City.
Feb 14, 2025
Struggles in loss
Whitmore totaled six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 10 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
After logging at least 20 minutes of action in each of his last six outings, Whitmore's 10 minutes played were his fewest since Jan. 25. The second-year forward is struggling with his outside shot as of late, converting just 28.9 percent of his 4.5 three-point attempts per contest over his previous 10 appearances.
Feb 4, 2025
Drops 18 in loss
Whitmore accumulated 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 124-118 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore scored his second-highest point total of the season in Monday's loss to the Knicks. The talented second-year player dropped 18 points against New York, shooting 50 percent from the field while adding five rebounds and two steals to the stat sheet.
Jan 28, 2025
Set to play Tuesday
Whitmore (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Houston's previous outing due to an illness. Whitmore is averaging 11.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Jan 28, 2025
Listed as questionable
Whitmore (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore missed Monday's game versus the Celtics, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to return Tuesday, it's likely that Aaron Holiday will again absorb his handful of minutes.
Jan 27, 2025
Not playing Monday vs. Boston
Whitmore (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore is working through an illness and will be held out of Monday's road game in the hopes that he'll be available against the Hawks on Tuesday. Per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, head coach Ime Udoka said that Aaron Holiday will get more playing time Monday due to Whitmore's absence.
Jan 26, 2025
Under the weather
Whitmore (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
An illness will put Whitmore in jeopardy of missing his first regular-season game since Dec. 14. Since and including Jan. 1, the 2023 first-round pick has averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals over 21.1 minutes per game. Jae'Sean Tate, Tari Eason and Reed Sheppard would be in line to see their minutes off the bench increase if Whitmore is not cleared to play.
Jan 16, 2025
Another solid showing off bench
Whitmore logged 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal in 24 minutes of action in Wednesday's 128-108 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
After bouncing back and forth between the G-League and NBA earlier this year, Whitmore has been solid lately with Tari Eason (leg) and Jabari Smith (hand) having been out. He collected a season high in boards and fell just one short of what would've been the second double-double of his young career. The sophomore wing will continue to see opportunity so long as Eason and Smith remain out, although his fantasy production remains hard to predict with Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson starting ahead of him on the wings and Jae'Sean Tate jostling with him for bench minutes.
Jan 8, 2025
Notches 17 points
Whitmore contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore continues to make a case for more minutes on the wings with Tari Eason (leg) still on the shelf. Over his last four outings, Whitmore has produced averages of 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest. He's someone to monitor in deeper formats going forward.
Jan 4, 2025
Abysmal shooting night in loss
Whitmore logged 11 points (4-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FG), six boards, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes of action during Friday's loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward returned to earth Friday after putting together one of his best performances of the season in a win over the Mavericks on Wednesday. He had an opportunity to prove his worth to head coach Ime Udoka with Amen Thompson (suspension), Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) and Tari Eason (leg) all sidelined, but failed to make the most of it. Thompson will return to the lineup against the Lakers on Sunday as Whitmore looks to bounce back from his paltry shooting night.
Jan 2, 2025
18 points in win over Dallas
Whitmore registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After two forgettable performances against the Timberwolves and Heat, Whitmore bounced back with a vengeance against the Mavericks on Wednesday. The second-year forward scored his second-highest point total of the season while helping Houston get the win over Dallas.
Dec 26, 2024
Sets new season-high scoring mark
Whitmore had 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore wasn't part of the rotation during the first two months of the season and spent considerable time in the G League, but he's been turning things around of late. This was his third straight game with double-digit points off the bench, and the first time he surpassed the 20-point mark. Even though his role might experience a regression once Dillon Brooks (ankle) and Tari Eason (lower leg) are back in the mix, Whitmore is making a strong case to receive more minutes on a regular basis in the short-term scenario.
Dec 24, 2024
Scores season-high 17 points
Whitmore ended with 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-101 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was limited to just three appearances at the NBA level between Nov. 2 and Dec. 15, as he spent considerable time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League, but his last two outings might lead to him earning more minutes in Ime Udoka's rotation. Whitmore has produced back-to-back double-digit scoring performances while shooting a combined 12-for-25 from the field in those outings.
Dec 11, 2024
Cleared to face GSW
Whitmore (wrist) will play in Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has been dealing with a bruised left wrist, but he'll be available for Wednesday's tilt. The second-year forward has appeared in one NBA game since Nov 6 and has spent ample time in the G League. He's unlikely to crack the Rockets' rotation Wednesday.
Dec 10, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Whitmore is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left wrist contusion.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore hasn't played for the Rockets since Nov. 20, as he's been mostly in the G League. However, with Jae'Sean Tate (back) also questionable, some extra minutes could open up in Houston's forward rotation.
Dec 10, 2024
Recalled by Houston
The Rockets have recalled Whitmore from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was sent to the Vipers on Dec. 2 and looked very good, reaching the 20-point mark in two of his three appearances. He might add depth to the Rockets' bench at the NBA level, but he's not likely to play a big enough role to be a reliable fantasy option.
Nov 29, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. In eight appearances for the Rockets this season, Whitmore is averaging 5.9 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.9 minutes.
Nov 21, 2024
Sent to G League
Whitmore was assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate Thursday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has bounced between the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the Rockets this season while recovering from a lingering knee issue. However, when the Rockets are at full health the second-year forward is not likely to play a significant role in the rotation, and he has averaged 5.9 points and 1.4 rebounds across only 9.9 minutes per game over eight regular-season outings.
Nov 20, 2024
Cleared to play
Whitmore (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was tabbed questionable due to left knee soreness, but he has been given the green light to face Indiana. Whitmore hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 6, missing some time with injuries and on assignment with the Rockets' G League affiliate. With the Rockets at full health, Whitmore isn't expected to see a large workload.
Nov 19, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Whitmore (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has missed the last seven games due to a combination of being assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on November 7 and recently sustaining a knee injury. However, Whitmore's status being upgraded to questionable is an encouraging sign that he will make his return soon.
Nov 18, 2024
Out with knee soreness
Whitmore won't play Monday against the Bucks due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was just recently recalled from the G League and has been unable to crack Houston's rotation on a consistent basis.
Nov 16, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Saturday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. In the 20-year-old forward's seven appearances for Houston, he is averaging 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.6 minutes.
Nov 7, 2024
Sent to G League
Whitmore was assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate Thursday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has struggled to carve out a significant role to begin the season, and in the club's last four regular-season games he has made three appearances while averaging 4.7 points and 1.3 rebounds across only 6.7 minutes per game. The 20-year-old isn't expected to spend much time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, though he'll likely struggle to find significant playing time at the NBA level while competing for minutes with Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason.
Oct 25, 2024
Available for Friday
Whitmore (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was considered probably earlier Friday, so it's not a surprise to see him available for this matchup. The second-year forward will come off the bench just like he did in the season opener Wednesday, when he posted four points in eight minutes.
Oct 24, 2024
Likely to play Friday
Whitmore (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore is dealing with left knee pain, though he will likely suit up for a second consecutive game. The 20-year-old joins Dillon Brooks (knee) on the report as probable, and if either run on a minutes restriction, Amen Thompson will likely see extra playing time.
Oct 7, 2024
Efficient outing in preseason loss
Whitmore posted 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals, two rebounds, one block and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was extremely efficient while getting it done on both ends of the floor, and he tallied the second-highest scoring mark for the Rockets behind Jalen Green (21). Whitmore is coming off a solid rookie season, during which he averaged 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds across only 18.7 minutes per game in 47 regular-season appearances. The 20-year-old is expected to compete for playing time off the bench with Tari Eason (rest) and Amen Thompson behind Dillon Brooks (rest). However, if Whitmore can stay healthy and affect the game on both ends of the floor, it'll likely be difficult for the club to keep him off the court.
Jul 17, 2024
Shut down for Summer League
Whitmore won't play during the rest of Summer League, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has been one of the top performers at Summer League and will turn his focus to getting ready for the regular season after appearing in three games in Las Vegas. The high-flying 20-year-old logged 47 games played with the Rockets as a rookie, averaging 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds across 18.7 minutes.
Apr 14, 2024
Finishes the season strong
Whitmore finished Sunday's 116-105 victory over the Clippers with 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was a strong finish to Whitmore's rookie season, and he seems poised to take on a larger role in 2024-25. In 47 appearances, Whitmore compiled averages of 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers on 45.4 percent shooting from the field.
Apr 14, 2024
Running with starters Sunday
Whitmore is in the starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Clippers, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore's explosive rookie year will end with his second start of the season, and he'll look to build off the five points and four rebounds he posted in 27 minutes in his prior start on Jan. 21. Whitmore is flanked by Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith on the wings.
Apr 12, 2024
Scores 18 off bench Thursday
Whitmore recorded 18 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 124-121 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has seen regular minutes off the bench in recent weeks and has scored in double digits in all but one of his last seven contests, with the lone exception being the April 9 matchup against the Magic where he got tossed. He's been making the most of his minutes and should handle a decent workload in the final two games of the season with the Rockets already eliminated from the playoffs.
Apr 9, 2024
Tossed from game
Whitmore was assessed two technical fouls and ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports. He will end the contest with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) in six minutes.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was ejected with 1:46 remaining in the third quarter Tuesday after getting into altercations with Joe Ingles and Moritz Wagner. Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in the rookie forward's absence.
Apr 5, 2024
Scores 17 points off bench
Whitmore racked up 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one block over 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore didn't miss a step despite being absent for nine straight games due to an ankle injury. If including his previous outings before the injury, he's now scored in double digits in six games in a row -- and in all but three of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break. Whitmore is not expected to crack the starting lineup any time soon, but he remains a valuable scoring alternative off the bench. He's definitively worth a flyer as a streaming alternative.
Apr 1, 2024
Returns from nine-game absence
Whitmore totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 125-107 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore returned from a nine-game absence Sunday, and he wasn't supposed to play more than 20 minutes as a precaution. Whitmore looked sharp, however, and it's possible he takes on a large role to close out the season with so many injuries in Houston.
Mar 31, 2024
Will play 20 minutes in return
Coach Ime Udoka said Whitmore (ankle) is available but will play no more than 20 minutes during Sunday's game against the Mavericks, source reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Whitmore has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up following a nine-game absence. However, the rookie will be limited to shorter stints and won't play more than 20 minutes, limiting his fantasy appeal. Before his injury, Whitmore scored double figures in eight of his last 10 games, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 20.3 minutes during that stretch.
Mar 30, 2024
Upgraded to probable
Whitmore (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has been nearing a return for quite some time, and the probable tag suggests the former Villanova standout could see minutes off the bench for the first time since March 10. Before his absence, the rookie had played 20-plus minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds during that stretch.
Mar 27, 2024
Nearing return
Coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Whitmore (knee) is right on track with his three-week return timeline and is getting closer to a return, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The red-hot Rockets have won nine straight and are vying for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so Whitmore's potential return is noteworthy, though Alperen Sengun (ankle/knee) isn't expected back even if Houston makes a postseason run. Whitmore hasn't played since March 10 and is due back in early April, barring a setback. Before his absence, Whitmore had played 20-plus minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds during that stretch.
Mar 12, 2024
Out for three weeks
Coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Whitmore (knee) will miss roughly three weeks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest due to a right knee sprain and is now set to miss an extended period. Amen Thompson and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Whitmore could still return before the end of the regular season on April 14.

Out with knee sprain
Whitmore has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a right knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the rookie had been sharp since the All-Star break, as he averaged 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 20.3 minutes over his last 10 appearances. With Whitmore sidelined, there'll be more bench minutes available for fellow rookie Amen Thompson.
Mar 7, 2024
Leads bench in scoring in loss
Whitmore closed with 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while ending as one of five Rockets players with 15 or more points in a losing effort. Whitmore, who connected on a trio of threes over a bench-leading minute total, has recorded at least 15 points in 12 games this year.
Mar 6, 2024
Big night from second unit
Whitmore recorded 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 114-101 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The 19-year-old continues to look like a steal as the 20th overall pick in the 2023 Draft. Whitmore has scored in double digits in five of seven games since the All-Star break, averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 boards and 1.0 threes in 19.3 minutes a contest, although his offensive game remains a work in progress -- he's shooting just 21.2 percent (7-for-33) from three-point range during that time.
Mar 1, 2024
Contributes off bench Thursday
Whitmore chipped in 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 27 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore might have needed 14 shots to score 14 points, but other than that, he provided a spark off the bench and looked active on the glass, ending just two away from notching a double-double. The rookie out of Villanova has been playing better and better, with four double-digit point appearances across his last five.
Feb 23, 2024
Posts 13 points in return
Whitmore (ankle) recorded 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across 24 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 127-105 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
After practicing Wednesday without issue, Whitmore was cleared to return from a three-game absence coming out of the All-Star break. The rookie hit double figures in the scoring column for the ninth time in 10 games, but he may not be able to count on reaching 24 minutes on a regular basis in competitive contests. Whitmore should at least have a firm hold on a rotation spot for the foreseeable future while Tari Eason (lower leg) faces a murky timeline for a return.
Feb 21, 2024
Will play Thursday
Whitmore (ankle) will play Thursday against New Orleans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore missed the Rockets' final three games before the All-Star break due to an ankle injury but will be back in action after having a week to rest. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 16.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game.
Feb 13, 2024
Remains out against Memphis
Whimore (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday due to a right ankle sprain despite coach Ime Udoka saying the rookie forward could return against Memphis. Whitmore's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star Break on Feb. 22 against New Orleans.
Feb 12, 2024
Could return Wednesday
Whitmore (ankle) could return for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has a chance to suit up in Houston's final game before the All-Star break, which stands in contrast to coach Ime Udoka mentioning that Fred VanFleet (groin) and Tari Eason (leg) will not be re-evaluated until after the break. Monday will mark Whitmore's second consecutive missed game due to a right ankle sprain, but the 19-year-old appears to be facing a short-term absence.
Feb 11, 2024
Out again Monday
Whitmore (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore will miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Dillon Brooks could see increased minutes in Whitmore's absence.
Feb 10, 2024
Out with ankle sprain
Whitmore (ankle) will not play in Saturday's contest versus the Hawks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore sprained his right ankle in Friday's game against the Raptors after accumulating 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes. There is no surprise that the Rockets have opted to rule him out on the second night of a back-to-back set here. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Knicks. In his absence, Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Dillon Brooks are all candidates to see slightly increased workloads.
Feb 9, 2024
Done for night with ankle sprain
Whitmore will not return to Friday's game against Toronto due to a right ankle sprain, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. He finished with 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one turnover in 18 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was leading the team in scoring at the time of his departure. The bad news for Houston is that this puts Whitmore's status for Saturday's game against Atlanta in jeopardy. If Whitmore is unable to play, the Rockets could turn to Aaron Holiday, Jae'Sean Tate and Reggie Bullock.
Feb 3, 2024
Career-best 25 points Friday
Whitmore closed with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 135-106 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets took a 19-point leads into halftime and were able to empty their bench in the fourth quarter, giving Whitmore a chance to post the best scoring numbers of his young career -- topping the 24 points he scored just four games earlier. The rookie out of Villanova fell to Houston with the 20th pick in the 2023 Draft due to long-term health concerns, but as the season has gone on he's looked more and more like a steal. Over the last 13 games he's averaged 14.9 points, 5.1 boards and 2.2 threes over 21.8 minutes a contest.
Jan 30, 2024
Gets buckets in win
Whitmore ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and six rebounds in 18 minutes during Monday's 135-119 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore came out gunning, racking up 16 points in his first seven minutes of action, while also having multiple threes rim out Monday. The 19-year-old is on the rise as a potent offensive threat for the Rockets. He has logged five games with 25-plus minutes in January.
Jan 27, 2024
Continues producing
Whitmore registered 19 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore co-led Houston in scoring Saturday, and the rookie has now canned 14 of his last 32 three-point attempts. Tari Eason (leg) is dealing with an extended absence, potentially as a stress fracture aggravation, so Whitmore's rest-of-season usage and outlook are trending up.
Jan 27, 2024
First career double-double Friday
Whitmore totaled 24 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Friday's 138-104 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore had a productive performance off the bench Friday. Not only did he register the first double-double of his young career, his points and rebounding output were both career highs for the rookie out of Villanova. Whitmore has established a permanent bench role for himself since the beginning of the new year and is averaging 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds over 19.0 minutes per game in January.
Jan 24, 2024
Moves back to bench
Whitmore isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jeff Green will replace Cam Whitmore in the starting lineup Wednesday. The rookie forward is averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 19.7 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Jan 21, 2024
Will make first career start
Whitmore will start Sunday's game against the Celtics, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
With Fred VanVleet (back) and Jabari Smith (ankle) out, Whitmore and Amen Thompson will start alongside Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Alperen Sengun. It's Whitmore's first career start, but when he's played 20-plus minutes (four games), Whitmore has averaged 17.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game this season.
Jan 21, 2024
Hot from deep
Whitmore contributed 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-126 overtime win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore boomed from beyond the arc Saturday, which is an encouraging sign after posting 33.3 percent shooting on 3.8 threes per game and looking pensive as a shooter across eight prior contests. His 11.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game over that span represents quality production from the rookie overall. Whitmore should continue to see a relevant role with Tari Eason (leg) amid a multi-week absence.
Jan 15, 2024
Strong outing off bench in defeat
Whitmore finished with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes in Monday's 124-115 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore led all bench players in Monday's contest in rebounds while finishing with a bench-high-tying scoring total in a balanced showing on the Rockets' second unit. Whitmore has tallied at least 14 points in four games this season, including in three of his last four outings. He has now hauled in six or more boards in two straight contests and in three games this year.
Jan 14, 2024
Shines off bench in loss
Whitmore provided 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 145-113 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore started the season in the G League, but if his recent performances at the NBA level are of any indication, then he clearly belongs in The Association. Even though he's been playing off the bench and not seeing steady minutes, he's found a way to make his presence felt, predominantly with his scoring figures. Through his last seven games off the bench, Whitmore has scored in double digits six times and is averaging 12.3 points per contest while shooting 49.2 percent from the field.
Jan 9, 2024
Productive off bench Monday
Whitmore logged 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 17 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore only logged five appearances off the bench until mid-December, but he seems to be earning a bigger role of late. The rookie has logged double-digit minutes in each of his last four outings and has scored in double digits each time. In fact, Whitmore has registered 10 or more points in six of his last seven appearances at the NBA level, and while the Rockets' lack of depth on the wings have forced him to a bigger role, it's worth noting he's making the most of his opportunity. Whitmore could be an alternative as a streaming option, but he's a player worth holding on to in dynasty formats.
Jan 5, 2024
Scores 11 points in 15 minutes
Whitmore produced 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes during Friday's 122-95 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore scored double-digits for the fourth time in the previous five games, as he continues to push his case for more playing time. With Tari Eason (leg) sidelined, Whitemore has been able to slide up in the rotation. There is not a lot to see from a fantasy perspective just yet, providing managers with a wait-and-see opportunity. Should he be able to crack 20 minutes at any point this season, he might be a name worth taking a flier on.
Dec 28, 2023
Logs career-high 18 minutes
Whitmore produced 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 129-113 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Whitemore scored double-digits for the second time in the past three games, stepping into a larger role after Jabari Smith was forced from the game due to an ankle injury. If Smith is going to miss additional time, Whitemore could become a regular piece in the rotation. While he is unlikely to push into the standard league discussion, those in deeper formats should keep an eye on his minutes moving forward.
Dec 23, 2023
Records best game of season
Whitmore closed Friday's 122-96 victory over the Mavericks with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 14 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore rejoined the Rockets on Friday after spending more than two weeks in the G League, and he did all he could to make his case to stick with the parent club with a big offensive performance. The first-round rookie tallied a career-high 14 points in just 14 minutes despite going only 1-for-6 from deep, and he added nice numbers on the boards and on the defensive end given his limited court time. It should be noted, however, that Whitmore's opportunity Friday came in a Rockets rout, so he isn't guaranteed to see the court even this much moving forward.
Dec 22, 2023
Rejoins parent club
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was productive for Rio Grande Valley in recent matchups and was one of three players to be recalled by the parent club Friday. Despite his recent G League results, he's unlikely to see much playing time for the Rockets.
Nov 27, 2023
Recalled from G League
Houston recalled Whitmore from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore wasn't seeing regular playing time with the Rockets, so he was sent to the G League. He continues to impress with Rio Grande but isn't expected to carve out an NBA role, barring injuries.
Oct 20, 2023
Moves to bench
Whitmore was moved to the bench for Friday's preseason game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Houston went with their projected Opening Night lineup for Friday's final exhibition. Whitmore offers a lot of long-term intrigue in fantasy basketball, but his role out of the gates is unclear.
Oct 19, 2023
Struggles from field again
Whitmore finished with 17 points (4-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, two assists, six steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 117-103 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has shown interesting traits in both the Summer League and the preseason, but all signs point to him opening the 2023-24 season on a bench role, and he will have to work hard -- and improve his shooting -- to compete for a starting nod. Whitmore has scored at least 15 points in three of his four preseason appearances.
Oct 18, 2023
Gets starting nod Wednesday
Whitmore will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Green (toe), Fred VanVleet (rest) and Dillon Brooks (rest) unavailable, Whitmore and fellow rookie Amen Thompson will start Houston's penultimate preseason contest. Whitmore has impressed thus far and will presumably get extended run versus San Antonio, but he'll likely return to a bench role for Friday's preseason finale versus Miami, which is expected to be a dress rehearsal for the regular season.
Oct 17, 2023
Struggles from deep Monday
Whitmore ended with 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 99-89 preseason win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was named the 2023 Summer League MVP despite being selected with the 20th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and he continues to prove his doubters wrong with solid numbers in the preseason. As good as he's been, however, Whitmore is expected to open the season on the bench, though a growth in his role once the season progresses can't be ruled out.
Oct 11, 2023
Efficient in victory
Whitmore tallied 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 122-103 preseason win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore was impressive during Summer League play in July, and he carried his momentum into the preseason during Tuesday's opener despite coming off the bench. It could be difficult for Whitmore to carve out significant minutes early in the regular season since the Rockets have plenty of depth at the wing, but he's made a strong case over the past few months.
Jul 16, 2023
Scores 25 points in win
Whitmore posted 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore continues his impressive play in Summer League, producing solid numbers on both ends of the floor. Despite his impressive play thus far, the Rockets' depth at the wing could make it challenging for the Vilanova product to see extended minutes to start the season.
Jul 13, 2023
Records eight steals
Whitmore put up 26 points (11-21 FG, 3-9 3PT, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, eight steals and one block in 31 minutes of Thursday's 118-101 Summer League win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
With eight steals, Whitmore tied the Summer League record. He was all over the place on both ends of the court, and that's been the case for the entirety of the Summer League. Through four games, Whitmore is averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 3.5 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
Jul 11, 2023
struggles from deep
Whitmore recorded 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 105-92 Summer League win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has showcased an impressive ability to play above the rim so far in Summer League but has been inconsistent with his outside shot. Along with his seven turnovers, Whimore's offensive game may be too raw for him to receive extended minutes early on.
Jul 9, 2023
Scores 21 in win
Whitmore tallied 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists, one rebound and a steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-101 Summer League win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore started the game with two emphatic dunks to set the tone for the Rockets and continued his solid play throughout the game despite being overshadowed by teammates Jabari Smith and Tari Eason. The 20th overall pick displayed his shooting ability but was really impressive getting to the basket and finishing above the rim. Whitmore will likely be in competition with Eason for playing time off the bench to begin the season.
