Career History

Miami Heat 2022-Present (4 seasons)

Nikola Jović: Breaking News

Ruled out for Tuesday

Jovic (ankle) is out for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Hornets. Jovic was sidelined for Miami's last four games of the regular season due to a left ankle sprain, and his absence will extend at least one additional matchup. If the Heat are able to fend off the Hornets on Tuesday, Jovic would have a chance to return for Friday's game, which will determine the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Remaining out Sunday

Jovic (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Atlanta. Jovic has played only twice in Miami's last 24 games. At this point, it's unknown if he will be available for the Play-In Tournament. However, while Jovic is ruled out, Simone Fontecchio (ankle), who is probable versus Atlanta, will likely continue to see more action.

Out for road trip

Jovic (ankle) will miss the next three games for Miami, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Tuesday. Jovic is not traveling with the Heat on their current road trip. A return against the Hawks on Sunday for the final regular-season game could be on the table depending on how he progresses.
