Whitmore (wrist) will play in Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup with the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. Whitmore has been dealing with a bruised left wrist, but he'll be available for Wednesday's tilt. The second-year forward has appeared in one NBA game since Nov. 6 and is unlikely to crack the rotation Wednesday.

Whitmore is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left wrist contusion. Whitmore hasn't played for the Rockets since Nov. 20, as he's spent most of the past three weeks in the G League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Even if he's cleared to play through the wrist issue Wednesday, Whitmore may not be part of the rotation.
-
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. Whitmore will be back with the Rockets for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, but he's not a lock to be included in head coach Ime Udoka's rotation.

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 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.
