Overview
- Washington announced Dec. 23 that Whitmore has upper‑extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder and will be sidelined indefinitely.
- The condition was discovered after he missed recent games with right shoulder soreness and underwent additional evaluation.
- He has not played since Dec. 4 and logged 21 appearances this season, averaging 9.2 points in about 17 minutes per game.
- The team gave no timetable and said updates will come as appropriate, noting DVT requires medical management to reduce serious risks.
- His absence reshapes the wing rotation, creating more run for Jamir Watkins and Will Riley alongside Corey Kispert’s expected return.
