Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 115-112 loss to the Phoenix Suns: – This time, Erik Spoelstra decided it was time. – So Kel’el Ware got his first rotation minutes of the season. – No, nothing overwhelming from the 7-footer drafted No. 15 out of Indiana in June. – But a small step of note. – Moving ahead of Thomas Bryant in Spoelstra’s rotation. – How long the opportunity lasts remains to be seen. – With Kevin Love expected to make his season debut at some point on this six-game trip. – Again traveling with the team after being away due to a personal reason. – On a night Bam Adebayo was off with his shot, Spoelstra could have turned to Bryant and his proven NBA offense. – Instead he turned to Ware. – And, so, perhaps it begins? – This time Ware got action in both halves, including a nifty jump hook in the third period. – And then a 3-pointer in the fourth. – The first of his NBA career. – Ware played 13:35, closing with seven points on 3-of-6 shooting and three rebounds. – The Heat remained for the seventh time in as many games with an opening lineup of Adebayo, Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier. – Out for the Heat were Love (return to competition conditioning), Jaime Jaquez Jr.
