As expected, the Miami Heat guaranteed another season on the rookie-scale contracts of forwards Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic on Thursday.
Jaquez averaged 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and one steal per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from three-point range last regular season.
Next offseason, the Heat will need to decide on the $5.9 million fourth-year option in Jaquez's contract for the 2026-27 season.
Jovic, who was selected by the Heat with the No. 27 pick in the first round of the 2022 draft, had the $4.4 million fourth-year option in his rookie deal picked up for the 2025-26 season.
