Kel’el Ware Miami Heat 2025-2026 Game Worn Association Edition Jersey | Double-Double

This away 'Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Kel’el Ware on November 14, 2025 when the Miami Heat played the New York Knicks. 

Ware recorded a double-double, finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks. The Heat lost to the Knicks, 140-132. 

Ware was drafted 15th overall by the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA Draft. In his rookie year, he appeared in 64 games (36 starts), averaging 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in about 22 minutes per game while shooting 55.4% from the floor. With a blend of rim protection, rebounding, and some offensive touch (including occasional three-point shooting), Ware projects as a high-upside modern big man with the potential to be an impact frontcourt piece for Miami.

In his second season, Ware has continued to prove himself as a stable back up big behind their star Bam Adebayo. With the Heat dealing with injuries this season, Ware has stepped into the starting role on numerous occasions, earning the trust of his coaches and teammates alike. With his ongoing success, he should continue to see his role expand in the NBA for years to come.

At the time of cataloging, Ware has season averages of 10.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
