"It took a little bit for Kel'el Ware to get comfortable in his second season, he seemed a bit lost in his first 10 games or so, when he averaged 9.7 points a game on 48.7% shooting, plus grabbed 7.7 rebounds a game. It's on the glass that you first noticed the change in Ware's game this season, and in his last 10 games he is dominating inside and grabbing 13.7 rebounds a game, plus scoring 15 a night on 57.1% shooting next to Bam Adebayo."
"Powell has given Miami a shot in the arm offensively, bursting through with a career-best 24.7 points while getting to the free-throw line 6.4 times per game. His 3-point efficiency has continued to be devastating, as he is making 44.4 percent of his 6.8 3-point attempts per game. Tyler Herro is back, so now Powell has to show that he can maintain his prolific output while sharing"
Miami is 13-7 after one quarter of the 2025-26 season despite absences of Tyler Herro (17 games), Bam Adebayo (six) and Norman Powell (four). The Heat lead the No. 4 seed chase in the Eastern Conference, three games behind Detroit, half a game ahead of Atlanta and one game behind Orlando. Kel'el Ware has emerged in year two, improving rebounding and scoring next to Bam Adebayo, though concerns persist about their late-game fit and spacing. Miami advanced to the NBA Cup quarterfinals as a wild card and will face Orlando on Dec. 9. Norman Powell has produced a career-best scoring surge with elite three-point efficiency, and Tyler Herro's return creates a need to redistribute offensive roles.
