Ime Udoka, head coach of the Houston Rockets, addressed Cam Whitmore's future during a recent media session, highlighting the young wing's struggle to find his place in the team's rotation this season. With the return of Tari Eason, opportunities for Whitmore became limited, leading to his questioning of his role earlier in the year.

Udoka expressed surprise at Whitmore's comments, emphasizing the extensive discussions they had about how to secure playing time. He acknowledged that while Whitmore possesses great potential, consistency remains a key area for improvement. The Rockets’ upcoming summer league may provide an opportunity for Whitmore to showcase his skills amidst increased competition from future draft picks.
