Cam Whitmore News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Cleared to face GSW Whitmore (wrist) will play in Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Whitmore is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left wrist contusion.

Impact 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.

Recalled by Houston The Rockets have recalled Whitmore from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Sent to G League Whitmore was assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate Thursday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

Cleared to play Whitmore (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Whitmore (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with knee soreness Whitmore won't play Monday against the Bucks due to left knee soreness.

Impact Whitmore was just recently recalled from the G League and has been unable to crack Houston's rotation on a consistent basis.

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to G League Whitmore was assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate Thursday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact 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.
