Cam Whitmore Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets forward Cam Whitmore made a strong first impression at training camp, according to Ryan Blackburn of Mile High Sports. Head coach David Adelman singled out the 22-year-old as one of the players who stood out on the first day, continuing the positive feedback Whitmore has received since joining Denver on a two-way contract. He averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across 21 games with Washington last season before a shoulder-related venous condition ended his year. Whitmore still has to earn a place in Denver's rotation, but the early praise gives him a chance to make a case for regular reserve minutes.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets are signing forward Cam Whitmore to a two-way contract. The 22-year-old has already joined the team for workouts after Cleveland waived him following an August multi-team trade. Whitmore averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across 21 games with Washington last season before a blood clot in his right shoulder ended his year. He posted 12.3 points per game as a Houston rookie, so the scoring upside is there. DeMar DeRozan gives Denver a proven second-unit scorer, leaving Whitmore to fight for spot minutes. He is worth monitoring but needs a regular rotation role before carrying fantasy value.

Free-agent forward Cam Whitmore (shoulder) has emerged as a possible target for the Denver Nuggets, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. Cleveland waived Whitmore in late August after acquiring him from Washington in the five-team deal that sent Peyton Watson from Denver to the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old averaged 10.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17.4 minutes across two seasons with Houston before an upper-extremity DVT limited him to 21 games with Washington last season. Denver lost Watson and Tim Hardaway Jr. this summer, leaving room for another scoring wing behind Cameron Johnson, Christian Braun, and DeMar DeRozan. The money is the catch, as Denver may not want to carry a 15th standard contract deep into tax territory. A two-way deal looks like the cleaner path, but that would cap Whitmore's immediate fantasy appeal unless he earns a promotion.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived forward Cam Whitmore, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. Cleveland acquired the 22-year-old from Washington last week as part of the five-team deal that brought in Peyton Watson, but Whitmore never had a clear path to a roster spot. The Cavs were expected to use the stretch provision on his roughly $5.5 million expiring salary, helping preserve space below the first apron before James Harden's new contract becomes official. Whitmore's 2025-26 season with Washington ended after 21 games because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, and he averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.9 minutes. His career marks sit at 10.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 17.3 minutes over 119 games. He should draw interest once he clears waivers, but his health and next role remain too uncertain for fantasy purposes.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are acquiring forward Cam Whitmore from the Washington Wizards as part of the expanded multi-team trade that also sends Peyton Watson to Cleveland, Max Strus to the LA Clippers, Tre Mann to Washington, and Julian Reese to Denver, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The move gives Cleveland a younger, smaller-salary wing after Whitmore's 2025-26 season ended in January because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. The 22-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists across 21 games while shooting 45.6 percent from the field. The fantasy fit is cloudy. Watson has the cleaner path to impact minutes, while Jaylon Tyson adds more wing competition, leaving Whitmore off fantasy radars until his health and role are clearer.

Washington Wizards forward Cam Whitmore (venous condition) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season after beginning the recovery process, bringing his year to a premature end. Whitmore can be dropped in all formats. The fantasy ripple centers on Kyshawn George, a surprise contributor averaging 14.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals. Those counting stats can hold, but minutes and usage are split across a crowded forward rotation with Bilal Coulibaly, Justin Champagnie, Khris Middleton, and rookie Will Riley, keeping George's ceiling in check.

Washington Wizards forward Cam Whitmore (shoulder) will be out indefinitely after being diagnosed with upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Whitmore recently dropped out of the lineup due to a shoulder issue, and now we know why. The 21-year-old is playing his first season in Washington after being traded by the Houston Rockets in the offseason. He has averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game across 21 outings. Prior to his exit from the lineup, Whitmore had fallen out of the rotation, so his absence won't have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Washington Wizards forwards Cam Whitmore (shoulder) and Jamir Watkins (illness) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The duo was initially listed as questionable for the game. Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) will also exit the lineup against Memphis, opening up playing time for the likes of Justin Champagnie, Tre Johnson, Will Riley, and Malaki Branham (thumb). Of the four players, Johnson has been the best fantasy option, though he has been inconsistent.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Houston Rockets are trading forward Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards. In exchange, Houston will acquire two second-round picks. The Rockets selected the 20-year-old with the No. 20 pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, well past where he was initially expected to be selected. He averaged 12.3 points as a rookie. However, Whitmore's production decreased throughout his sophomore campaign, although he did manage to average 25.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 54.5% shooting in his three starts. With that in mind, Whitmore has an excellent chance of holding a routine role in the rotation. There's also reason to believe he could earn a spot in the starting lineup. Either way, Whitmore might be in line for his most productive fantasy season to date.

Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports that Houston Rockets guard/forward Cam Whitmore (illness) is suffering from an illness that will keep him out of Monday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The second-year forward has seen inconsistent playing time this season, especially with Tari Eason back in the rotation, so he hasn't been a very valuable asset in many fantasy formats so far. With Whitmore out, Eason should see an increase in playing time and scoring opportunities. He's averaging 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game in five outings since returning from injury. Aaron Holiday could also take on extra minutes this evening.
