August 31 - According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto , the Cavaliers have waived Cam Whitmore .
Whitmore was the 20th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, entering the NBA after playing one season at Villanova University . He spent his first two seasons with the Houston Rockets before being traded to the Washington Wizards last offseason.
Last season, Whitmore played only 21 games for the Wizards before being sidelined for the rest of the season due to a blood clot in his right shoulder. To date, he has played 119 NBA games , averaging 10.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, with a field goal percentage of 45.0% and a three-point percentage of 34.9% .
If she clears the waiver period smoothly, Whitmore will become a free agent in a few days. The Cavaliers will need to continue adjusting their roster and plan to increase their salary cap space by signing a rookie with a draft pick.
