Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Pistons. With Jalen Duren coming to town and Andrew Wiggins (leg) ruled out, head coach Erik Spoelstra will roll with Ware underneath the basket, with Bam Adebayo moving over to the four spot. The rookie has averaged 10.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 22 starts this season, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers. With Ware in the starting lineup, Haywood Highsmith, who had two points versus the Knicks on Monday, will head back to the bench.
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (knee) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie big man has to sit out a third consecutive contest due to a left knee sprain. During Ware's absence, Kevin Love has stepped into the starting lineup for a couple of games. However, the veteran has still had limited playing time, averaging 6.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in 14.0 minutes. Haywood Highsmith and Kyle Anderson have also taken on expanded roles in recent games.

This season, Ware has played in 44 games, averaging 8.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. His field-goal percentage stands at 54.8%. The Heat, with five players injured and one questionable for Wednesday's game, started Kevin Love in Ware's place on Monday night and played Kyle Anderson as a backup center while Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith saw extra playing time off the bench.
Miami Heat forward/center Kel'el Ware (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He sustained a right knee sprain in Sunday's overtime loss to the New York Knicks. Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith, and Kyle Anderson should share Ware's minutes on Monday, with Bam Adebayo likely shifting back to center. Ware's first opportunity to return will come on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, though it wouldn't be surprising if he misses multiple games due to his knee injury.
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat forward Kel'el Ware (ankle) is available to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Ware has been dealing with discomfort in his left ankle but is healthy enough to play. In his last outing on Sunday versus the Bucks, he finished with 12 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and one block. The 20-year-old rookie has become a solid option for fantasy managers as the season has progressed.
Miami Heat forward Kel'el Ware (ankle) has appeared on the injury report as probable to face the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. He's dealing with some discomfort in his left ankle, so they'll likely just make sure he feels good to go in warm-ups. In their last game on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Ware posted 12 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and one block. The rookie has come into his own as the season progressed and has been a quality option in category leagues. If he ends up getting downgraded before tip-off, Kyle Anderson could see some more time in the frontcourt.
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (foot) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ware is listed on Miami's injury report due to a foot issue but is likely to play Wednesday. With Bam Adebayo missing Monday night's game due to back soreness, Ware stepped up against the Clippers as he scored 19 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and contributed a block and a steal in 33 minutes of action. Ware has averaged 20.0 minutes per game across eight appearances for the Heat in January. In those eight games, Ware averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. He will have much more work on his hands if Adebayo doesn't suit up.
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Charlotte. He missed Friday's practice and will not travel to the game due to a stomach illness. Ware, the 15th pick of this year's draft, saw six minutes of action in his NBA debut on Wednesday versus Orlando. He went scoreless with one rebound. The 20-year-old played very well in the Summer League, but it looks like it will take some time until he carves out a consistent role for himself on the team. Ware's absence opens up additional playing time for Thomas Bryant, who contributed seven points, three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 16 minutes versus the Magic.
Kel'el Ware Logs Double-Double In Summer League Final
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware played his part in Monday's Summer League final triumph against the Grizzlies with a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double. The young big man had an excellent Summer League campaign with the Heat and finished it in style, shooting 8-for-10 from the field while also logging one block. Ware averaged 1.5 swats per game in Las Vegas, along with 18.0 points and 8.3 rebounds. He was named to the All-Summer League First Team for his impressive efforts. At 20 years old, Ware still has a lot of room to grow and develop his game, but he looks ready to contribute to the Heat right away in his rookie campaign.
Kel'el Ware Bags Another Double-Double Versus Thunder
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware posted his second double-double in four Summer League games on Monday, finishing a 102-73 victory over Oklahoma City with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. He went 5-for-12 from the field, including 1-for-2 from three-point range. Ware's efforts included one assist, one steal, and one block.

Ware has averaged 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in 25.9 minutes in the Summer League.
