Cam Whitmore, entering his fourth season in the NBA, made his preseason debut with the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The 22-year-old was signed by the Nuggets to a two-way contract after being waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Whitmore's new team lost to the Utah Jazz 109-97, but he was content with the experience, stating, "Play some defense," in a video shared by AltitudeTV.
Whitmore had a modest outing in his first game with the Nuggets, recording six points, two rebounds, and one assist in 15 minutes. He shot 2-of-7 from the floor, but his primary focus was on getting on the court and playing defense, trusting his teammates to provide him with chances. Despite his promising rookie year with the Houston Rockets, where he was named Big East Rookie of the Year, Whitmore has faced difficulties securing consistent playing time in the NBA since 2023.
His short-term future with the Nuggets remains uncertain, as they will face the Jazz again on Tuesday.
