The Miami Heat's controversial decision to send rookie center Kel'el Ware to the G League is already paying off.
The Miami Heat sent sparsely-used rookie center Kel’el Ware to the G League not as a demotion, but so he could finally see the court.While playing for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Ware recorded his second consecutive double-double in Sunday’s 114-112 loss to the Grand Rapids Gold . The No. 15 pick tallied 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in 31 minutes.
Ware reported to the Skyforce last week. He had 17 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in the team’s 102-81 Dec. 5 victory over the Windy City Bulls. The Heat haven’t indicated when Ware will rejoin the team. All-Star Bam Adebayo remains entrenched at center, and Thomas Bryant has earned added minutes off the bench.
Center Bam Adebayo decided to recognize others for their part in the Heat's recent success. Postgame, Adebayo called guard Dru Smith and forward Haywood Highsmith the team's "energizer bunnies."
