Jovic is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic. Jovic will move to the starting lineup since Miami will be without Jimmy Butler (illness). Jovic, who will be making his first start since Nov. 8, will be in the first unit alongside Dru Smith, Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Jovic is averaging 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game as a starter this season.

Jovic (ankle) logged 19 minutes and finished with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound in Friday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder. Jovic was back in action after missing the Heat's previous game Monday versus the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain. The third-year big man had been outside of the rotation in recent contests before suffering the injury, but the Heat opened up some playing time for him Friday as a backup center, with Kevin Love logging just three minutes in the loss. It's unclear if Jovic will be a regular part of the rotation moving forward, however, as head coach Erik Spoelstra may have prioritized Jovic ahead of Love on Friday for matchup-related reasons.
