Kel'el Ware: Breaking News

Ware chipped in 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 19 rebounds, four assists and five blocks over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Tournament loss to Charlotte. Ware did everything he could to get Miami over the line, leading the game with 19 rebounds and five blocks. With Bam Adebayo leaving early due to a back injury, Ware was forced into a sizeable role, serving as the primary big man. While it was a solid season for Ware, his ongoing role will no doubt be a contentious topic, as he switched between starting and coming off the bench for much of the 2025-26 campaign.

Ware is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus Washington, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Heat are without several key contributors in the penultimate game of the regular season, allowing Ware to draw his 33rd start of the year. The second-year big man has averaged 10.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 25.0 minutes per contest across his previous five appearances as a starter.

Ware supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks in 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards. The double-double was the 24th of the season for the second-year center, and the points and boards were his best performances in those categories since a 28-19 effort against the Knicks on Dec. 21. The seven rejections also tied his career high, a mark he first set March 5 against the Nets. Ware has been locked in from long range over the last couple weeks, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks in 20.0 minutes a contest while shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from beyond the arc.
