"ESPN Insider Shams Charania announced on Tuesday that Cam Whitmore was set to be sidelined indefinitely after being diagnosed with an upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis. Whitmore had missed the last few games with what was labeled as shoulder soreness on the Wizards injury report. After the soreness persisted, further testing revealed that the forward was dealing with a blood clot that would take him out of action for the forseeable future as he looks to navigate his recovery back to full health."
"Over recent weeks, Whitmore had been working closely with head coach Brian Keefe as the team continues to prioritize the high-upside prospect's development. Looking for a way to tap into his extreme potential after a lackluster start led to his benching that eventually caused a lot of noise surrounding the forward, Whitmore's work will have to be put on pause."
Cam Whitmore was diagnosed with an upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder and has been sidelined indefinitely. He missed recent games due to shoulder soreness, and follow-up testing identified a blood clot that necessitates removal from play while he recovers. Whitmore had been receiving focused development with head coach Brian Keefe after a slow start and a benching. A similar case, Victor Wembanyama, was shut down for about eight months after a comparable diagnosis, indicating Whitmore could face a multi-month recovery depending on treatment response and medical monitoring.
