Kel'el Ware

Kel'el Ware, a center for the Milwaukee Bucks, played his first game with the team in a 128-116 loss to Washington on Wednesday, October 22, according to a RotoWire report published by CBS Sports. Per that report, Ware scored seven points, grabbed three rebounds and recorded one assist and one steal in 14 minutes before he fouled out. He was used as a reserve behind Myles Turner and picked up six personal fouls during the game.

Other headlines from several outlets point to more Ware coverage around the same stretch, including items on his use in a reserve role against Chicago, a dunk, and an alley-oop finish. Those headlines give only their titles, so the details of those games are not confirmed here. The same CBS Sports report says his fantasy upside is intriguing but his production could be inconsistent in a limited role.
