Instant Grade: Nuggets Sign Cam Whitmore to Two-Way Contract
Whitmore gives Denver a scoring flier after averaging 10.5 points in 119 career games and losing multiple bench scorers this offseason.
- On Friday, the Denver Nuggets signed Cam Whitmore to their final two-way contract, securing the 20th overall pick from the 2023 NBA Draft to bolster roster depth.
- Whitmore was a moving piece in a five-team trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this month, then cut in the days following before lingering in free agency for around two weeks.
- Across 119 career games, the wing averaged 10.5 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 45.6% from the field, despite injury-shortened stints in Houston and Washington.
- Whitmore joins K.J. Simpson and Bryce Hopkins to complete Denver's three two-way players; he can be active for up to 50 NBA games but remains ineligible for the playoffs.
- The front office leveraged Whitmore's scoring upside to address a bench unit that lost multiple key scorers during the offseason, with one traditional roster spot still remaining.
