Kel’el Ware Miami Heat 2025-2026 'Rising Stars' Warmup Top | Probable Wear

This 'Miami Heat' warmup top was issued to Kel’el Ware on February 13, 2026, for the Rising Stars Introductions. However due to the provenance, we believe it was likely worn.

Kel’el Ware represented Team T-Mac in the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars Game on February 13, 2026, where his team fell to Team Vince 41-36 in the semifinal.

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 11.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
