Ware (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ware was added to the injury report due to a right quadriceps contusion but will shed his probable tag and suit up in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set. The second-year center has started five consecutive contests, racking up four double-doubles over that stretch.

Ware (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Ware was not included on the Heat's initial injury report but is now listed as probable due to a right quadriceps contusion. Still, the second-year center is likely to suit up in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. He has started five consecutive contests, racking up four double-doubles over that stretch.

Ware registered 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-111 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Ware started for the fifth straight game, taking advantage of the fact that Bam Adebayo was out due to a back injury. This allowed Ware to play at least 30 minutes for the third time in the past five games, an encouraging sign when it comes to his long-term fantasy value. In six appearances over the past two weeks, Ware has been able to put up first-round value, averaging 16.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.5 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per game.

Ware produced 28 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 20 rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes of Sunday's 132-125 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Ware was dominant for Miami, posting a career-high 28 points while matching his career-high mark of 20 boards. He also finished one triple shy of his career-high mark (6). Now back in the starting lineup, Ware is thriving with 24.7 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 4.0 three-pointers over his last three games.

Ware tallied 24 points (8-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during the Heat's 129-116 loss to the Celtics on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ware started a second straight game, and in each of those starts he has posted a 20-point double-double. He ended up leading the Heat in both scoring and rebounding (with five of his 14 boards coming off the offensive glass), and he set a career high with six three-pointers. Ware will likely start against the Knicks on Sunday if Andrew Wiggins (back) is not cleared to play.

Ware is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Nets on Thursday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat will go with two bigs in the starting five Thursday in Ware and Bam Adebayo while Simone Fontecchio comes off the bench. Ware has started in 16 of 26 regular-season games, and as a starter he has averaged 11.9 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 26.4 minutes per game.

Ware amassed six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two blocks across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Ware logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game, salvaging a quiet night with a team-high 13 rebounds. His role continues to change, seemingly on a nightly basis, making him a hard player to get a read on for fantasy purposes. While he does remain a must-roster player, it is looking like the majority of his value could end being tied to rebounds and blocks only.

Ware will start against the Magic on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
After coming off the bench in four straight games, Ware will return to the first unit against Orlando. In 14 starts this season, the second-year center has averaged 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 26.7 minutes per contest.

Ware posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Ware turned in a double-double, his ninth in 2025-26, while stuffing the stat sheet. The second-year center's fantasy upside is capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo, though Ware has been very productive with averages of 14.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.
