Kel'el Ware isn't wasting any time making an impact for the Miami Heat.

The former Indiana University player and No. 15 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft racked up 26 points and 11 rebounds Sunday in summer league action against the Sacramento Kings.

"In college, I had to be more of a role player," Ware said postgame. "After the season, I added a few more things to my bag."

In his summer league debut on Saturday, Ware had 12 points, six rebounds and five blocks in a loss to Golden State.
