What happened
Cam Whitmore, who signed a two-way deal with Denver in September after stops in Houston, Washington and Cleveland, posted 17 points, four rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday’s preseason loss to the Clippers.
He has now scored 14 points against Utah and is averaging 10.3 points in just under 16 preseason minutes, while the Nuggets’ open 15th roster spot gives him a chance to keep building toward a standard contract.
Whitmore’s preseason scoring makes him a live candidate for Denver’s open final roster spot and a possible bench wing option. His two-way status still limits him unless the contract is converted.
