Whitmore (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers. 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 while on assignment with the Rockets' G League affiliate. With the Rockets at full health, Whitmore isn't expected to see a large workload.
Whitmore (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers. 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.
Whitmore won't play Monday against the Bucks due to left knee soreness. Whitmore was just recently recalled from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers and has been unable to crack Houston's rotation on a consistent basis, so his absence Monday won't open up any minutes for other players.
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Saturday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. 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.
Whitmore (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies. 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.
Whitmore (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports. 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.
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. Whitmore was extremely efficient while getting it done on both ends of the floor, and he tied Alperen Sengun for the second-highest scoring mark on 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.
Whitmore won't play during the rest of Summer League, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports. 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.
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. 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.
