Cam Whitmore has been diagnosed with upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder and has been ruled out indefinitely.
Whitmore missed the Washington Wizards’ two most recent games due to shoulder soreness and further testing revealed his blood clot.
Whitmore spent the first two seasons of his career with the Houston Rockets and was traded to the Wizards for two second round picks in the offseason due to Houston’s roster crunch.
Whitmore is averaging 9.2 points in 16.9 minutes over 21 games this season with the Wizards.
Victor Wembanyama, Damian Lillard, Ausar Thompson and Brandon Ingram are among the players who have missed time in recent years due to blood clots.
