What happened: Cam Whitmore turns 22 on Wednesday. The NBA recognized the milestone as the league offseason continues.

Why it matters: The birthday arrives as Whitmore navigates an extended recovery period. His 2025-26 campaign ended prematurely in mid-January following a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

By the numbers: Whitmore averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds across 21 appearances during the 2025-26 season. He shot 45.6 percent from the floor while averaging 16.9 minutes per contest before being ruled out.

What to watch: Whitmore focuses on regaining his full health in preparation for the 2026-27 season.
