Heat's Keshad Johnson: Out again Monday
Johnson (ankle) won't play in Monday's Summer League Championship Game against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

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 Pelle Larsson: Stuffs stat sheet in SL
Larsson logged 21 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds and four steals during Sunday's 102-99 win over the Warriors in the Summer League semifinals.
Larsson was excellent on both ends of the floor, finishing as one of two Heat players to top 20 points while pacing Miami in steals. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Larsson characterizes as a three-and-D wing and should compete with Duncan Robinson, Josh Richardson and Alec Burks for minutes off the bench during the regular season.

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 Josh Christopher: Impressing in Summer League
Christopher recorded 23 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 102-73 Summer League win over the Thunder.
Christopher did the majority of his damage from beyond the arc, drilling six of eight tries to account for 18 of his 23 points. He easily paced the bench in scoring and did so in limited minutes. Christopher should have another opportunity to showcase his scoring ability Wednesday against the Mavs.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Drops 17 points
Ware produced 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 25 minutes during Saturday's 119-114 Summer League win over Boston.
Ware came into this outing with a ton of hype after averaging 19.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game in his previous two Summer League outings. His path to fantasy value is obstructed by the presence of Bam Adebayo, but Ware has the potential to run away with the backup center role.

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.

Johnson recorded 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3P, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 80-76 win over the Lakers in the California Classic.
