Players to watch out for
Lakers fans will be excited to get another glimpse of Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James. He is expected to return after missing out on Sunday's encounter versus the Golden State Warriors. The 19-year-old made is professional debut versus the Sacramento Kings before being omitted for the team's second game due to a knee injury.
Bronny recorded 4 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in his opening game against the Kings. The LA Lakers will be hoping to see a little more from their second round pick on Wednesday.
Kel'el Ware will be the man to keep an eye on for the Miami Heat. At 7-feet tall, the former Indiana Hoosiers center is hard to miss on the court.
Ware had a respectable start to his Summer League Campaign with 12 points and six rebounds against the Warriors. He really excelled in his second game versus the Kings. Ware recorded the most points (26) and rebounds (11) and shot 12-21 from the field during the Heat's first victory.
The Miami Heat selected Ware with the 15th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and that pick is starting to look like a great decision by the organization.
