Cam Whitmore News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

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.

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.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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 • 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.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Friday Whitmore (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Friday Whitmore (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact 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.

Cam Whitmore (17 points) Highlights vs. Utah Jazz l Houston Rockets

OCTOBER 8 • YOUTUBE

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.

Impact 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.

Shut down for Summer League Whitmore won't play during the rest of Summer League, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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...

Impact 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.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
