Top Nikola Jovic News

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Bypassing hand surgery

    Jovic won't require surgery to repair the fractured second metacarpal on his right hand, but his status for the rest of the season remains in question, Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald report.

    Last Tuesday, the Heat announced that Jovic would wear a splint on his right hand and be re-evaluated in four weeks before a determination is made on his next steps. With Jovic sidelined through at least late March, the Heat have opened up more minutes at forward for Kyle Anderson and Haywood Highsmith in recent games.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Fractures hand, set to miss time

    Jovic has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a fractured right hand.

    Jovic suffered the injury during the first half of Sunday's game, and X-rays revealed a fracture on the second metacarpal of his right hand. The Heat likely won't provide a clear timeline for Jovic's return until a determination is made on whether or not he needs surgery, but even if he avoids a procedure, the third-year forward will be headed for a multi-week absence. His absence could allow Kyle Anderson to take on an elevated role at power forward, and the Heat could also open up a spot in the rotation for one of Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Likely to play Friday

    Jovic (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Although Jovic is dealing with a calf contusion, the issue will not likely keep him out of action Friday. The 2022 first-rounder has already been playing an expanded role for the Heat, and his rest-of-season fantasy outlook was bolstered by the trade of Jimmy Butler on Wednesday. Over his last six games, Jovic has averaged 16.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 threes in 33.9 minutes.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Drains season-high five threes

    Jovic closed Tuesday's 133-124 loss to Chicago with 20 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes off the bench.

    The Heat once again went with a tight frontcourt rotation that saw Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware and Jovic each play more than 30 minutes, and as a result, the latter set a new season high in made threes while reaching 20 points for the first time since Jan. 11. Jovic has been a reliable contributor from the second unit, scoring in double digits in nine of the last 10 games while averaging 13.9 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 boards, 2.7 threes and 0.9 steals in 31.2 minutes a contest.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Scores 15 points

    Jovic chipped in 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 47 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime win over Orlando.

    With Jimmy Butler suspended through the trade deadline, he's potentially played his last game with the Heat. Jovic is one of a number of players who could benefit from a fantasy perspective, and he's been a top-75 player in nine-category formats over his last five games. In that stretch, Jovic averaged 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.

    Jovic continues to provide a spark off the Heat bench, leading the reserves in scoring while contributing two steals and two blocks on the defensive side of the floor. Jovic's role during the regular season has increased due to the ongoing absence of Jimmy Butler (suspension). Since Jan. 1, Jovic has averaged 12.9 points, 4.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds over 28.5 minutes per game.

    Jovic racked up 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Jovic's fantasy value continues to trend up, and he made the most of his playmaking duties Tuesday with Tyler Herro (groin) sidelined. Through 12 January outings, Jovic has compiled averages of 13.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes. During that stretch, Jovic has produced 10th-round value in nine-category formats.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Dishes out career-high eight dimes

    Jovic produced 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Lakers.

    Jovic's career-high eight assists didn't come out of nowhere, as he is averaging 4.5 assists over his last 10 outings. The 21-year-old forward is also averaging 28.7 minutes per contest over that span and should continue to be one of Miami's primary playmakers in their bench unit alongside Terry Rozier.
