Cam Whitmore was the 20th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft this past summer, and has played in three games so far this season.

The 19-year-old is averaging 2.3 points and 1.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 33.3% from the field.

On Tuesday, Michael Shapiro of Chron reported that the Rockets will assign Whitmore to the G League.

According to the G League's transaction page, Whitmore has officially been assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers (G League affiliate of the Rockets).

Via Shapiro: "#Rockets are sending Cam Whitmore to the G League squad in Rio Grande Valley, per a team source.

Not exactly sure when the move will be announced. G League season starts Friday."
