Washington Wizards forward Cam Whitmore has started the recovery process for a diagnosed venous condition and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team announced Thursday.
Whitmore hadn’t played since a blood clot was found in his right shoulder in early December. He was later diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis.
Washington acquired Whitmore from the Houston Rockets in July. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds per game across 21 appearances.
Whitmore was notably benched by Wizards head coach Brian Keefe following a string a performances Keefe said didn’t meet the team’s standards.
The Villanova product is extension eligible this offseason, with an October deadline to strike a possible deal with the Wizards. Washington already exercised his team option for the 2026-27 season, which pays him $5.5 million.
