If there's any moment for Kel'el Ware to shut the critical mouths of the doubters, now is the time. With the expectation that Bam Adebayo is going to miss some time with a foot injury (even though his MRI came back fairly clean), the Heat needs Ware to step up in the frontcourt. With all the talent in the world, this is a golden opportunity for Ware to be that player the Heat believes he can be.
And Miami doesn't have many other options to turn to, aside from giving two-way player Vlad Goldin the green light or playing exceptionally small for the next few games.
