Trevor Keels News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

Doesn't play vs. Detroit Keels (knee) didn't play in Friday's 101-87 Summer League win over the Pistons.

Impact Keels missed Miami's Summer League finale, marking a third consecutive game on the inactive list due to right knee soreness. Over two Las Vegas Summer League appearances, he averaged 23.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 27.2 minutes per showing.

Sits out Thursday Keels (knee) didn't play in Thursday's 99-90 Summer League loss against the Raptors.

Impact Keels was also held out of Monday's exhibition due to knee soreness, so it appears he's not yet back at full strength. He'll have another opportunity to take the court Friday against Detroit.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Monday Keels (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's Summer League game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact It's unclear whether Keels is dealing with an injury or is simply being held out for rest. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Raptors.

Drops 32 points in Summer League Keels finished Saturday's 93-88 Summer League loss to the Magic with 32 points (12-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact Keels and Jahmir Young combined for 59 of the Heat's 88 points in Saturday's loss, with the former doing most of his damage from beyond the arc, as he accounted for six of Miami's 12 three-pointers. Keels briefly left Saturday's game due to an apparent right knee injury, but he was cleared to return and did his best to mount a comeback, with 12 of his 32 points coming in the fourth quarter. The 2022 second-rounder has spent most of his NBA career in the G League but did appear in eight regular-season games for the Heat last season. A strong Summer League and training camp could be enough for Keels to crack Miami's roster for the 2026-27 season.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Saturday Keels (knee) returned to Saturday's Summer League game against the Magic with 3:28 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact Keels bumped knees with an opposing player earlier in the quarter but was able to return shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Saturday's game Keels exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's Summer League game against the Magic due to an apparent right knee injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Su...

Impact Keels bumped knees with an opposing player and limped off the court while grabbing at his knee. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Monday Keels (rest) won't suit up for Monday's California Classic Summer League game against the Warriors Gold, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact This will be the third game in three nights for Miami, so Keels will get hit with a maintenance day. Expect more minutes for Kendall Brown and Nate Kingz with Keels unavailable.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 16 points in Summer League Keels recorded 16 points (5-15 FG. 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 30 minutes of Sunday's 93-91 Summer League loss to the Lakers.

Impact Keels was on a two-way contract with Miami last season, but he made just eight regular-season appearances for the club for 1.9 minutes per contest. He also fared well in the Summer League opener with 18 points against the Spurs on July 3.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Miami Keels was waived by the Heat on Thursday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Keels will presumably end up with Miami's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, before the 2025-26 regular season begins. He pieced together a strong performance in the preseason opener, totaling 12 points, one rebound and two assists in 17 minutes against Orlando.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Miami with 12 points Saturday Keels registered 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound over 17 minutes during the Heat's 126-118 preseason loss to the Magic on Saturday.

Impact Keels made the most of his opportunity off the bench, connecting on all four field-goal attempts to lead the Heat in scoring. The 2022 second-rounder caught on with Heat in mid-September on an Exhibit 10 deal. He spent the entire 2024-25 season in the G League with the Iowa Wolves and averaged 20.9 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 36.9 minutes per game across 31 contests. Keels last saw NBA regular-season action during the 2022-23 season with the Knicks, when he appeared in three games and averaged 2.7 minutes per contest.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs deal with Heat Keels has agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Heat.

Impact The contract gives Keels an opportunity to battle for a two-way spot with Miami during training camp this fall. The 22-year-old guard was a standout for the G League's Iowa Wolves a year ago, averaging 20.9 points, 3.5 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 36.9 minutes per game over 31 appearances during the G League regular season.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Minnesota Keels was waived by the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Impact Keels signed with Minnesota on Tuesday but will be let go by the club a few days later. If he doesn't land another NBA roster spot ahead of the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him head back to the G League this year.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Minnesota for camp Keels and the Timberwolves agreed to a contract Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact This is likely an Exhibit 10 deal, meaning Keels will have the opportunity to fight for a roster spot in training camp. Keels was with Iowa in the G League in 2023-24 where he averaged 13.5 points and 3.7 assists per game.

Recalled by New York Keels was recalled from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.

Impact Keels was sent to the G League on Tuesday but will rejoin the parent club a day later. However, he's appeared in just one game for New York this season, so his presence shouldn't significantly impact the team's rotation.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to G League The Knicks assigned Keels to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Tuesday.

Impact For one of the few times all season, Keels suited up for Monday's game against the Celtics, but he didn't see the floor in the Knicks' 109-94 win. He'll now head back to the G League and should get the chance to play meaningful minutes for Westchester in Wednesday's game against the Delaware Blue Coats.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from G League New York recalled Keels from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.

Impact Keels could get the chance to dress for Monday's game against the Celtics, but he's unlikely to see the floor outside of a garbage-time scenario. The rookie second-round pick out of Duke has made just one one-minute appearance for the NBA team this season, which came back in October.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to G League The Knicks assigned Keels to the Westchester Knicks of the G League on Saturday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Keels was signed to a 10-day contract Thursday after spending most of the season on a two-way deal. However, it appears that Keels is still expected to spend time in the G League.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Inks 10-day deal The Knicks signed Keels to a 10-day contract Thursday.

Impact Keels was previously operating under a two-way contract and has appeared in just one contest at the NBA level this season. However, at the G League level, the 6-foot-5 wing is averaging 14.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 31.3 minutes across 17 appearances (all starts) for Westchester. Even with his new contract, the rookie second-round pick isn't expected to garner a fantasy-relevant role anytime soon.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins parent club Keels has joined New York ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Keels is with the Knicks on a two-way deal, and he should suit up for the parent club Friday since the team is shorthanded following the trade deadline. He played just one minute during his lone appearance with New York earlier this season.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be on two-way deal Keels and the Knicks agreed to a two-way contract Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Keels was selected by the Knicks with the No. 42 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. At 6-foot-3, 224 pounds, Keels is a physical presence who barrels to the rim. While he needs to improve his shooting, Keels has shown an ability to get to the free-throw line and is a good passer. The Duke product's defense is also a bit of a question mark, as he's not a great lateral athlete. On a two-way deal, Keels should see plenty of action in the G League.
