Top Nikola Jovic News

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Gets green light Wednesday

    Jovic (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic has missed two straight games but will return to action Wednesday and will presumably draw another start, as Bam Adebayo (back) is sidelined. Jovic has started each of his last 12 appearances, averaging 7.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.4 minutes during that stretch.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Iffy against Cleveland

    Jovic (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain. However, it is a good sign that the 20-year-old big man is initially being listed as questionable instead of out. If Jovic is unable to suit up, Haywood Highsmith will likely continue to start.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Out again Monday

    Jovic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

    Jovic will miss a second straight game due to a right hamstring strain. With Kevin Love (heel) also out, Haywood Highsmith is a candidate to draw another start, while Caleb Martin should see increased usage off the bench.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Out versus Pistons

    Jovic will not play in Sunday's matchup against Detroit due to a hamstring strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic presumably picked up the injury in Friday's victory over the Pistons. In his absence, Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith figure to be the prime beneficiaries. The second-year big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the 76ers.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Decent stat line despite loss

    Jovic closed with 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to the Wizards.

    Jovic scored in double digits just for the second time since jumping into a permanent starting role, and there's no question he needs to get better offensively if he wants to experience an uptick in his fantasy upside as well. Jovic is averaging just 8.2 points per game over his last 10 starts, but the fact that he's shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from deep in that span is certainly encouraging.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Tossed from game

    Jovic was ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Pistons with 5:43 remaining in the third quarter after receiving his second technical foul, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jovic picked up his second technical foul Tuesday after arguing with the officials. The second-year big man will end the game with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes. Jaime Jaquez and Caleb Martin will likely receive increased playing time in Jovic's absence.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Quiet in return

    Jovic notched eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Jovic returned from a one-game absence due to suspension and was given the chance to start, but he was limited to just 15 minutes of playing time. The second-year forward didn't play poorly, as he knocked down a pair of triples and didn't commit a turnover, but Miami elected to give Caleb Martin -- who came off the bench for the first time in eight games -- almost twice as many minutes. Jovic's playing time and production have been too inconsistent this season for him to be a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Gets starting nod

    Jovic is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    After missing Monday's contest due to a suspension, Jovic will replace Caleb Martin in the starting lineup Tuesday. Jovic is averaging 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes across his last five starts.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Eligible to play Tuesday

    Jovic (suspension) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Jovic and Jimmy Butler will both suit up after serving one-game suspensions Monday for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Friday's win over the Pelicans. However, Jovic's role will likely be limited given Miami's frontcourt rotation is relatively healthy.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Draws one-game suspension

    The NBA announced Sunday that Jovic has been suspended for Monday's game against Sacramento due to his role in escalating an altercation that took place in the fourth quarter of Friday's 106-95 win over New Orleans.

    Jimmy Butler has also been suspended for Monday's contest, while Thomas Bryant will begin a three-game suspension Monday. Jovic's punishment stems from exiting the bench area during the incident and getting involved in the skirmish. He'll be back in action Tuesday versus the Trail Blazers, but after starting in each of his previous three appearances, Jovic could move back to the bench if Terry Rozier (knee) is cleared to play in Portland.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Gets starting nod

    Jovic is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

    Jovic will replace Jaime Jaquez in the starting lineup Tuesday, with Jimmy Butler (personal) out. Jovic is averaging 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.6 minutes across his last five appearances as a starter.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Registers career-best game Tuesday

    Jovic recorded 24 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-97 victory over Milwaukee.

    Jovic had almost completely fallen out of the rotation prior to Tuesday, as he logged six DNPs and totaled just 10 minutes over Miami's previous 10 games. However, he was given an opportunity to start against Milwaukee and came through with career-high marks of 24 points and five triples. Jovic's impressive performance could help him return to receiving regular minutes, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him log more starts while Jimmy Butler (personal), Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) remain out of action.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Returns to bench

    Jovic won't start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Wednesday's contest will snap a streak of 10 straight starts for Jovic. However, the move was to be expected considering he had played only 15 minutes in each of Miami's last two games. Haywood Highsmith will replace him in the first unit, and it's unclear how large of a role, if any, Jovic will have as a reserve.
