Cam Whitmore News
Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore (ankle) will rejoin the action on Sunday versus Dallas but will carry a minutes restriction. His playing time will be capped at around 20 minutes as Houston doesn't want to push Whitmore too hard after seeing him miss nine games with a sprained knee. The 19-year-old has actually averaged 17.8 minutes for his rookie campaign, so Whitmore could still be able to provide his normal production. He's posted 12.1 points and 3.9 rebounds for the season. Whitmore's return could rob a few minutes off Amen Thompson, but he's played very well lately and should continue to carry plenty of fantasy value.
Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore (knee) will miss about three weeks as the season winds down. Whitmore is dealing with a sore right knee sprain that already had him ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka confirmed that Whitmore will be out for "roughly three weeks" and will be re-evaluated around that time. The rookie averages 12.1 points on 46% shooting from the field, with 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers made per game. Whitmore's absence should open more minutes for reserve forwards Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate. Fellow rookie Amen Thompson is already bound for a bigger role after getting slotted into the starting lineup in place of injured center Alperen Sengun, and this only helps his value.
Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka says forward Cam Whitmore (ankle) will play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. After spraining his right ankle on Feb. 9, Whitmore returned to Wednesday's practice and is good to go on Thursday following a three-game absence. New Orleans resides seventh in the Association in defensive efficiency (110.6), so the Villanova product will only be a deep-league fantasy streamer for points and three-pointers off the Rockets bench with Fred VanVleet (adductor) back in the fold.
Houston Rockets forwards Tari Eason (leg) and Cam Whitmore (ankle) remain sidelined for Wednesday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. No surprise here on Eason's front, as head coach Ime Udoka revealed before Monday's win over the New York Knicks that the 2022 first-rounder is still experiencing "lingering pain" in his left lower leg stemming from a stress reaction in the preseason. Whitmore will miss a third straight game due to a sprained right ankle, and Feb. 22's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans will be both players' next chance to return. With Fred VanVleet (adductor) also out, Aaron Holiday is averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 treys on 42.9% shooting from beyond the arc in 24.9 minutes over his past four games as Houston's sixth man and is a short-term fantasy solution for points, threes, and dimes until the team gets healthier.
