Impact After spending the first two seasons of his career in Miami, Ware will get a fresh start in Milwaukee. The 22-year-old center saw similar playing time in his second season compared to his first, though he still took a step forward in 2025-26. Over 77 regular-season appearances (34 starts) last season, the big man averaged 11.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 steals and 0.7 assists in 22.1 minutes per contest. With Antetokounmpo no longer in Milwaukee, the future of Myles Turner (ankle) is up in the air. Ware could see a larger role in Milwaukee than he did in Miami, especially if Turner is traded.

Double-double with five blocks Ware chipped in 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 19 rebounds, four assists and five blocks over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to Charlotte.
Impact Ware did everything he could to get Miami over the line, leading the game with 19 rebounds and five blocks. With Bam Adebayo leaving early due to a back injury, Ware was forced into a sizeable role, serving as the primary big man. While it was a solid season for Ware, his ongoing role will no doubt be a contentious topic, having switched between starting and coming off the bench for much of the 2025-26 campaign.

Impact The Heat are without several key contributors in the penultimate game of the regular season, allowing Ware to draw his 33rd start of the year. The second-year big man has averaged 10.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 25.0 minutes per contest across his previous five appearances as a starter.

Huge performance off bench Saturday Ware supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks in 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards.
Impact The double-double was the 24th of the season for the second-year center, and the points and boards were his best performances in those categories since a 28-19 effort against the Knicks on Dec. 21. The seven rejections also tied his career high, a mark he first set March 5 against the Nets. Ware has been locked in from long range over the last couple weeks, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks in 20.0 minutes a contest while shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from beyond the arc.

Muted role continues Ware logged five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 13 minutes during Monday's 119-109 win over the 76ers.
Impact Ware logged no more than 15 minutes for the second straight game, continuing what has been a wildly unpredictable season. Despite being a top 70 player through 71 games, Ware has struggled to carve out a consistent spot in the rotation. For example, in eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes per contest.
