Kel'el Ware has been recalled to the Miami Heat after a two-game stint in the G League. The 15th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft from Indiana, he has averaged 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds per game while shooting 40.0% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range in ten games this season.

Kel'el Ware has been ruled out for the game against the Lakers, adding to the Heat's injury challenges as they look to improve their season record.

Kel'el Ware did not play against the Celtics due to a foot injury and has been assigned to the G League, where he was set to make his debut soon. Averaging 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in his first ten NBA games, the G League assignment will provide him with more opportunities for playing time. He has already been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Lakers.

Kel'el Ware sealed the victory for the Heat by making two crucial free throws in the final moments of the game, contributing to Miami's win over the Hornets.

Kel'el Ware, the No. 15 pick, entered the season with high expectations but has had a slower start compared to teammate Pelle Larsson, who has made a more immediate impact. While Ware's size and athleticism are evident, he has yet to find his rhythm on the court. He is recognized for his potential as a high-energy big man, but Larsson's solid performance, including a 41.7 percent shooting rate from three, has overshadowed Ware's contributions thus far. Nonetheless, Ware's length and bounce suggest he has a future in the league if he can develop his skills further.
