Jović, who came into this one nursing a left groin contusion, went 6-of-10 from the floor, scoring 15 points in the opening half as Miami built an early advantage. The 22-year-old cooled off considerably over the final three quarters but still managed to turn in a respectable all-around effort. He’s been excellent over the past two weeks, averaging 14.8 points and 5.3 rebounds over his last six games during that span. He’s worthy of a speculative fantasy roster spot, especially in deeper leagues.

Despite suffering a left groin contusion during Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Jović is good to go for the second game of Miami’s weekend back-to-back. There may be a few more minutes available to him since Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is out.

Jović took an inadvertent knee from Rudy Gobert during Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves. However, while hobbled momentarily, he was able to remain in the game. With Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) considered doubtful, the Heat are on track to be down at least one reserve on Sunday. Not having Jović would leave them even more shorthanded on the bench.

Jović was listed as probable and has now officially been cleared to suit up. He has taken on a larger role off the bench recently, which has led to strong fantasy production. His last game was rough, but he’ll look to get back on track in this one.

Jović struggled on Thursday, but before that, he had been playing incredibly well off the bench. He is dealing with an elbow contusion, but he isn’t expected to miss Saturday’s game, and he’ll look to get back on track offensively.

A 28.4 percent three-point shooter entering Monday’s game, Jović came up huge for the Heat on Monday. He matched his career-high with five three-pointers, needing eight attempts to hit that number. Add in the points, rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent night for the few who have Jović rostered. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has not been a reliable fantasy option this season. However, with Pelle Larsson leaving Monday’s game with a sprained ankle, Jović’s value may increase in the short term.

After a four-game absence, Jović will be available for Friday’s game. With Bam Adebayo (back) out, there may be additional minutes available to Jović, but he’s unlikely to get the run needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Jović is on track to return to action after an elbow contusion sidelined him for Miami’s last four games. While he will provide additional depth at the forward positions upon clearance, it won’t be enough to make Jović a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues.

Jović exited early from Miami’s last game, and the injury will keep him sidelined for at least one more game. Jović’s role over the past month has been minimal, so his absence won’t impact the Heat’s rotation.

Jović exited early on Monday after a hard fall on a dunk attempt, but all testing has indicated this injury isn’t that serious. His status for Thursday’s game in Brooklyn is up in the air, and the team is considering him day-to-day at this point.

Jović injured his right arm when he landed awkwardly after being fouled by Toronto’s Collin Murray-Boyles on a dunk attempt during the first half of Monday’s game. While team trainers applied an air cast to the forward’s arm before he left the court, X-rays came back negative. More will be learned about the severity of Jović’s injury on Tuesday. How impactful a potential absence would be depends on Tyler Herro’s status, as he was a late scratch due to a toe injury flaring up.

Jović landed hard on his lower back and right arm after being fouled on a dunk attempt by Toronto’s Collin Murray-Boyles. While the lower back did not require medical attention, the Heat forward was taken off the court with an air cast on his right arm. Since Jović did not attempt his free throws, he is officially done for the night and will probably miss additional time. Keshad Johnson entered the lineup because the Heat were also without Tyler Herro (toe).

Jović had missed Miami’s last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team’s five-game winning streak. He’ll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he’s averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production.

Jović has missed Miami’s last four games with a hip injury, freeing up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio. However, with Tyler Herro available and Norman Powell (groin) considered probable, all three Heat reserves may lose out on playing time in Wednesday’s NBA Cup matchup. Of the three, Jaquez is the safest option in terms of fantasy value.

Jović is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a hip injury. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio should continue to see additional minutes off the bench in his absence against the Mavericks on Monday.

Jović had his hip injury pop up before Wednesday’s game against the Warriors and missed that one as well. He will now sit out one more, and with Andrew Wiggins (hip) also out, that should be more usage and minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio.

Downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, Jović is officially out for the matchup with Golden State. The Heat will have Bam Adebayo (toe) available, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio can also absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

Jović was a late addition to the injury report and was deemed questionable, but he has now been downgraded to doubtful. His expected absence should open up extra minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, though the potential return of Bam Adebayo (toe) will have the largest impact of the rotation.

Jović dealt with a hip injury earlier this season, and now he is back on the injury report with one as a late addition. If he is unavailable, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, who have both already been playing large roles, would likely see even more minutes. However, Bam Adebayo (toe) could be back, and his return would alter the rotation more than Jović’s absence.

Jović nearly recorded a triple-double off the bench against a Portland team that entered the night ranked ninth in defensive rating. He connected on three of seven attempts from beyond the arc and shot 63 percent from the field overall. The 22-year-old hasn’t exactly been a consistent fantasy contributor this season, but performances like this offer glimpses of his all-around upside as he continues to develop. An increase in three-point volume would go a long way toward unlocking his long-term scoring ceiling.

Jovic was initially listed as questionable, but was upgraded on Thursday, which is a good sign for his chances to get on the court. He’s averaging 24.3 minutes per game this season and providing decent production off the Heat bench. He should continue to fill that role in a tough matchup inside against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.

Jovic pops up on the injury report after playing 22 minutes off the bench in Miami’s last game. He has been solid thus far, but if he were to miss this game, Simone Fontecchio, who has also gotten off to a strong start this season, would take on a larger role off the bench.

Jovic followed his nice start to the preseason on Saturday with another strong outing on Monday. Although he failed to put up big scoring numbers, the versatile forward flashed his abilities as a rebounder, nearing double figures, while recording a team-high in assists. His well-roundedness nearly led him to a preseason triple-double. Jovic has started both preseason games thus far — if he can retain his starting position, the fourth-year forward has the potential to improve on a solid third NBA season.

Erik Spoelstra didn’t use his starters for long in this game, but Jovic was able to make a quick impact. Jovic, who got the starting nod over Kel’el Ware, could be in for a breakout season if he maintains that role. Ware contributed 10 points and nine rebounds off the bench, so the starting job will be an interesting storyline to watch throughout the preseason.

Jaquez got the start in place of Tyler Herro (ankle), but Jovic starting instead of Kel’el Ware may be more notable. Jovic has the opportunity to have a breakout season, and if he maintains a spot in the starting lineup, his chances of taking a leap forward will only improve.

Teams have until October 20 to agree to rookie-level extensions, and the Heat have reportedly made an early decision on Jović. Wednesday’s extension locks him in as part of the team’s core for the foreseeable future, despite only appearing in 107 of a possible 246 games since being selected 27th overall in the 2022 draft. He appeared in 46 games last season, starting 10, and finished with averages of 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes. Jović’s playing time has increased in each of his first three seasons, and his role could expand even more to begin this season with Tyler Herro out due to injury.

While Jović did say he hopes to be a starter, he also acknowledged that he was more productive coming off the bench in 2024-25. In 36 appearances off the bench last season, he averaged 11.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes. By comparison, Jović averaged 8.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 10 starts. Not only was Jović more productive as a reserve than as a starter, but he also played more, averaging 19.7 minutes per game as a starter. The absence of Tyler Herro (foot) to begin the season will free up additional opportunities for multiple players, including Jović, who is extension eligible until October 20. Solidifying himself as a starter could also impact his career financially, as was the case for Herro before he inked a rookie extension worth $120 million over four years in 2023.

It was an up-and-down EuroBasket from Jovic, but he ended things on a high note, even if it was an early-than-expected loss for Serbia. Jovic’s 20 points were a tournament-high for him, which will hopefully help propel him into a big season with Miami. The 2022 first-round pick is an exciting late-round pick with plenty of upside.

Jovic only needed 16 minutes to dominate Estonia in Serbia’s EuroBasket opener. They outscored Estonia by 36 points during Jovic’s short stint on the floor, and he’ll continue to play a critical role for them throughout the tournament. Jovic is set to enter his fourth season with the Heat and could be in for a breakout season.
