Top Nikola Jovic News

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Modest production in loss

    Jovic finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to Denver.

    After playing only seven minutes as a starter in the first half, Jovic was benched to begin the second half. However, that didn't stop him from being productive, as he recorded seven points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 13 minutes during the second half. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he misses time, the Heat may need Jovic to be more aggressive offensively.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Plays five minutes

    Jovic recorded four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in five minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

    Jovic was part of the starting unit Wednesday, a status he's held in all seven appearances this season. However, he logged a season low in minutes and didn't retake the floor after being subbed out with 6:44 left in the first quarter. While it isn't abnormal for Jovic to handle fewer minutes than a typical starter -- he averaged just 21.5 minutes per game before the loss to Phoenix -- Wednesday's game marked a new low for the third-year forward. His unstable role makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats, and his minutes should be watched closely by fantasy managers moving forward.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Season-low 12 minutes

    Jovic amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 12 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to Sacramento.

    Jovic continues to start but was limited to a season-low 12 minutes during Monday's one-point loss. After scoring in double figures in three of his first four appearances this season, Jovic has totaled seven points over his last two outings.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Drops six dimes in win

    Jovic totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 victory over Charlotte.

    Jovic is off to a strong start as a full-time starter. Through two games, the third-year pro has totaled 25 points (10-22 FG), nine boards, seven dimes, three steals and one block. With Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez coming off the bench, Jovic faces stiff competition for playing time, but for now, he's locked into starter-level minutes. The potential returns of Kevin Love (personal) and Kel'el Ware (illness) soon could also mean slightly fewer minutes for Jovic moving forward.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Starts and scores 15 points

    Jovic finished with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to the Magic.

    Jovic started 38 of 46 regular-season games last season, and he seems to have a leg up on Jaime Jaquez as the first-unit option for the Heat. Jovic's fantasy value is still up in the air, but his spot in the rotation warrants some consideration, especially if he's available on the waiver wire.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Suits up for Serbia

    Jovic (ankle) posted 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds in 11 minutes during Serbia's 94-72 exhibition win over Greece on Monday.

    Jovic sprained his ankle in mid-June, and there were conflicting reports about his availability ahead of the Paris Olympics. It looks like the 21-year-old forward is still working his way back to full strength, evidenced by playing only 11 minutes versus Greece, but he has appeared in back-to-back exhibitions. Jovic should be available for Serbia's showdown against Team USA on July 28, the first game of the Olympics for both squads.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Progressing in recovery

    The Heat announced Saturday that Jovic (ankle) is progressing in his rehab, and there is still a possibility he will be able to play in the 2024 Paris Olympics for Serbia, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic suffered an ankle injury in June during an offseason workout. While initial reports stated that the 21-year-old big man was likely to miss the Olympics, he remains listed on Serbia's roster.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Likely to miss Olympics

    Jovic (ankle) didn't travel with the Serbian national team for Friday's preparatory game against France and is considered likely to sit out the 2024 Paris Olympics, EuroHoops.net reports.

    Jovic suffered his injury in June but appears to still be dealing with a fracture of the ankle joint. While there is no indication that the 20-year-old forward will miss any of the NBA season, his absence will be a big blow to the Serbian national team's hopes in Paris.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Suffers ankle injury

    Jovic was diagnosed with a minor left ankle sprain Thursday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic is still expected to compete for Serbia in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, which begin on July 28. Jovic made 38 starts for Miami this year and could start alongside Nikola Jokic in the frontcourt for Serbia.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Decent output in playoff exit

    Jovic ended with eight points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 118-84 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Jovic was forced to embrace a bigger role in the second half of the season and was a permanent fixture in the starting unit since mid-February. While he had some strong performances here and there, he lacked consistency on a game-to-game basis, and he was unable to become a reliable offensive alternative when the Heat needed him, especially in games where they were shorthanded. It remains to be seen if Jovic will remain a regular starter for the Heat next season. but it's worth noting he averaged 9.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game across 33 starts since the beginning of February, counting both the regular season and the playoffs.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Grabs eight rebounds in Game 3 loss

    Jovic logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Jovic has been forced to play a prominent role for the Heat over the last few weeks, but he has been up to the task this postseason, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least six rebounds in his three appearances during the current series against Boston. Jovic should remain in the starting lineup for Game 4 on Monday. He's averaging 12.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in the first three games of the series.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Available for Game 2

    Jovic (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics.

    Jovic was a late addition to the injury report due to a minor back issue, but as expected, he's been upgraded from probable to available. He posted 10 points, six rebounds and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 Game 1 loss.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Dealing with minor back issue

    Jovic is probable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics due to back discomfort/spasms.

    Jovic is still expected to suit up despite being a late addition to the injury report. He posted 10 points, six rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during the 114-94 Game 1 loss and has started 29 straight appearances dating back to the regular season.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Continues solid play Friday

    Jovic accumulated 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 125-103 win over the Raptors.

    Jovic bounced back from a subpar outing against the Mavericks on Wednesday, and he surpassed the 15-point mark for the third time across his last four outings. Jovic has been a regular starter for Miami in the last few weeks, and he has been up to the challenge, averaging 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. He's also scored in double digits in six of his last 10 appearances.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Efficient in double-overtime win

    Jovic totaled 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime win over the Hawks.

    Jovic was efficient and continues to embrace the starting role, as he's now scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances. This was just the second time he surpassed the 20-point mark. While he's not expected to do it regularly in the future, his fantasy upside has increased considerably now that he's a regular member of the first unit. Jovic has started 23 consecutive games and is averaging 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game during that stretch.
