Nuggets Eye Troubled Whitmore for Wing Depth
16 Sep
Summary
- Nuggets are reportedly watching free-agent forward Cam Whitmore.
- Whitmore played only 21 games last season due to a shoulder condition.
- The forward was previously traded by the Cavaliers in August.
NBA insider Marc Stein has identified the Denver Nuggets as a team to monitor in the free-agent market for forward Cam Whitmore. This interest comes despite Whitmore's recent injury struggles.
Last season, Whitmore's playing time was significantly curtailed, with only 21 games played due to deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder. He was subsequently waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers in August, shortly after being acquired in a trade involving Peyton Watson.
As training camp nears, the Nuggets are reportedly evaluating the possibility of adding Whitmore. Although he has yet to secure a regular role in the NBA, the former first-round selection could be a valuable addition for Denver, offering potential depth on the wing. While his immediate impact in fantasy redraft leagues may be minimal, securing a roster spot would be crucial for preserving his value in dynasty leagues.
