Reporter: Whitmore has not requested to be traded and is expected to get a rotation position in the new season

According to The Athletic reporter Kelly Iko, neither Whitmore nor his agent have requested to be traded by the Rockets, and both parties hope to find a solution.

"The league and team sources say a few teams have asked about the availability of wing Cam Whitmore, which gets rarely used by the Rockets. Whitmore has been struggling to gain a foothold in Uduka's rotation since being drafted with the 20th pick in 2023, sometimes expressing his dissatisfaction on the bench, but people are still optimistic about his potential and rotation position – showing strong game time over the past two seasons. At this stage, neither Whitmore nor his representatives have asked for a deal, and both sides are looking to find a solution.

"In addition to simply forcing Uduka to play cards, lineup changes can also open up additional playing time. For example, if the Rockets make an integrated deal against star players such as Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo or Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant , which may free up more rotation spots. "

This season, Whitmore averaged 16 minutes per game, scoring 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%/35.5%.
