The Cavaliers have waived Cam Whitmore, according to the official transaction log at NBA.com (hat tip to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype).

Cleveland acquired Whitmore eight days ago as part of the five-team Peyton Watson deal. Reporting at the time indicated that the Cavaliers were “still working through” what to do with Whitmore, which suggested he wasn’t in the team’s short- or long-term plans.

Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report and The Stein Line subsequently reported that Cleveland was expected to waive Whitmore, who’s in the final year of his rookie scale contract. The Cavs will likely to use the stretch provision to spread Whitmore’s $5,458,310 salary across three seasons, reducing his 2026/27 cap hit to $1,819,437.
