Thursday’s game will be the third that Jović will miss due to lower back injury management. There are more minutes available to Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, but both were already ahead of Jović in the pecking order.

No surprises here, as Jović was given a doubtful tag on Monday. Jović’s absence could mean more minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., but the return of Davion Mitchell complicates the rotation.

Jović’s status is up in the air as he’s listed as questionable with lower back tightness for Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies. If Jović is ruled out, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see extra minutes.

Jović missed Sunday’s game, which didn’t end up having a clear impact on the rotation due to the lopsided score. If he remains out, Simone Fontecchio and Kel’el Ware should take on extra minutes.

Jović was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so the downgrade in status is not a surprise. Simone Fontecchio may pick up a few additional minutes, while fantasy managers will hope to see more of Kel’el Ware than three minutes of play.

Due to a right hip impingement, Jović is unlikely to play on Sunday. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, not enough time to have an impact on fantasy basketball. Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are all available; they’ll likely absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

With Kel’el Ware (hamstring) out, Jović has essentially been Bam Adebayo’s backup in recent games. That’s required some adjusting on his part. After struggling in the first three games of the Heat’s west coast trip, Jović had one of his best games of the season on Saturday. He finished with his fourth 20-point game and first since December 29. With Ware already back in Miami, Jović will once again take on an expanded role on Sunday in Phoenix.

Added to the Heat injury report on Saturday afternoon, Jović is good to go. He’ll offer additional depth off the bench, which is needed since the Heat won’t have Tyler Herro or Davion Mitchell.

Jović is a late addition to the injury report, but his role has been minimal lately, even with Jaime Jaquez Jr. out for Miami’s last game. Jović’s absence could open up a few extra minutes for Simone Fontecchio, though he isn’t worth streaming unless you are desperate for triples.

Jović played just six minutes last game, but it appears that he will be good to go on Thursday. With Jamie Jaquez (knee) ruled out on Thursday, having Jović available will be crucial for Miami.

Jović is dealing with a sore right knee, but the probable tag suggests that he’s closer to playing on Thursday than not. Depending on what happens with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee), who’s listed as questionable, Jović’s role may expand despite coming off the bench.

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 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.
