The 21-year-old, in his third NBA season, was averaging 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench. The diagnosis followed two missed games for shoulder soreness. DVT, a condition that can cause blood clots, carries serious health risks, including pulmonary embolism. Whitmore joins a list of NBA players who have experienced DVT.
