Barry Jackson: Ware cracks, good naturedly, that he has "to work on the plus/minus." For all of his impact, he was 2nd worst on the team in that category; that matters with Spo... Probed on that, Ware says he can control what happens in paint but not on opponents' 3s... Speaking of Spo, Ware said he and Spo have good relationship and "have more of an understanding of each other" now.
Five Reasons Sports: Spoelstra on Ware and Bam playing together: "They were able to do it in more impactful games as the season progressed. Both of them took a jump from where it was a year ago, or even at the beginning of the season."

Team sources said the Bucks seriously considered the Heat's offer, which centered on Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, other players and multiple draft picks and pick swaps. Milwaukee contemplated moving forward with Miami on Feb. 4. Ownership, however, believed the best move would be to hold on to Antetokounmpo and receive better offers in the summer. The Bucks informed the Heat on the morning of Feb. 5 that they would not accept a deal. The Bucks celebrated Antetokounmpo remaining with the team, even as they stood outside the play-in and had a player many inside the organization described as "distant" from the team at times. No one has questioned Antetokounmpo's on-court commitments. But management, coaches and players were exhausted by the discussion and dilemma regarding his future this season, creating a tense environment in the locker room, team sources said. "The crux of the issue is feeling Giannis doesn't want to be here on any given day," one team source said.
Zachary Weinberger: Heat handled business agianst the Wizards, 152-136, scoring the second-highest scoring game in franchise history. Jaime Jaquez led with 32, Kel’el Ware with 24, 19, 8 blocks. Andrew Wiggins 21, Pelle Larsson 16, 7 rebs. Kasparas Jakucionis 14, Bam Adebayo 14, 9, 7 assists. Up next is 2 against Raptors on the road. #HeatNation
So, instead, Powell played as sixth man, with Simone Fontecchio starting. Tuesday night, Spoelstra elected to go big in Charlotte, with center Kel’el Ware added to the opening mix. “We’ve talked game-to-game,” Powell said of his discourse with Spoelstra. “I don’t know. That’s a question with Spo, but we talked about how it was going to be going forward, treating every game as a playoff game because it’s so important — whatever role you’re put in, the focus has to be going out there and winning the game no matter what. That’s my focus.”

Anthony Chiang: Erik Spoelstra to @TheJaxShow on Bam Adebayo (calf): "We want to make sure that he's feeling good. So we’ll be responsible with it. He'll continue to do around the clock treatment. If he's not able to go, Kel’el will step in there and then other guys will obviously have to step up."
