"Unless Norman Powell is awarded an NBA All-Star spot this coming February, the Miami Heat will be limited in their All-Star weekend representation, as Kel'el Ware would be the only member of the Heat to participate in any of the events. Ware, having just been selected to the NBA's Rising Stars game, is in the middle of a struggling, inconsistent season, which aligns with how Miami's season has gone overall. The Heat have played more up-and-down basketball this season than maybe most other teams in the league, and Ware, being in his second season, has gone through the same routine."
"Let's not forget that, in his rookie year, Ware was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. He missed out on playing in last year's Rising Stars event, so this February will be his first crack at it. Ware is averaging 11.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game this season. All of his numbers are up from his rookie year, save for field goal percentage and assists."
Kel'el Ware was selected to the NBA's Rising Stars game and could be the Miami Heat's sole All-Star Weekend representative unless Norman Powell earns an All-Star spot. Ware is in his second, inconsistent NBA season, averaging 11.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game, with most counting stats up from his rookie year but declines in field-goal percentage and assists. Ware has struggled to find a consistent role in Erik Spoelstra's rotation, prompting a public coach-player exchange that was later softened. Ware has indicated he should play more minutes, and the Rising Stars nod suggests retained potential and room for growth.
