Whitmore was assigned to the Rockets' G League affiliate Thursday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. Whitmore has bounced between the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the Rockets this season while recovering from a lingering knee issue. However, when the Rockets are at full health the second-year forward is not likely to play a significant role in the rotation, and he has averaged 5.9 points and 1.4 rebounds across only 9.9 minutes per game over eight regular-season outings.

Whitmore (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers. Whitmore was tabbed questionable due to left knee soreness, but he has been given the green light to face Indiana. Whitmore hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 6, missing some time with injuries and while on assignment with the Rockets' G League affiliate. With the Rockets at full health, Whitmore isn't expected to see a large workload.

Whitmore won't play Monday against the Bucks due to left knee soreness. Whitmore was just recently recalled from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers and has been unable to crack Houston's rotation on a consistent basis, so his absence Monday won't open up any minutes for other players.

The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Saturday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. Whitmore will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. In the 20-year-old forward's seven appearances for Houston, he is averaging 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.6 minutes.

The Rockets assigned Whitmore to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. Whitmore has struggled to carve out a significant role to begin the season, and in the club's last four games, he's seen the floor just three times while averaging 4.7 points and 1.3 rebounds across only 6.7 minutes per game. The 20-year-old isn't expected to spend much time with Rio Grande Valley, though it will likely take an injury to one of Houston's rotation players before he gets meaningful run at the NBA level.
