Kel’el Ware starts the 2024-25 NBA season as the backup center for the Miami Heat behind Bam Adebayo. He moves ahead of Kevin Love and will be expected to contribute immediately in what the Heat hope is a deep playoff run during the 2024-25 season. Kel’el Ware can play freely knowing that Kevin Love is there to back him up. Ware spent two years in college and he progressed a lot in his second year. Ware’s production more than doubled between his first and second college seasons in both minutes and points per game.
