"I would have lied if I said that the last two weeks were easy because I felt like everything I did was wrong, and I was not helping this team at all...I just wasn't helping myself. I looked worse and worse. And, you know, it's obvious that I wasn't playing great basketball."
"Jovic was able to "break" out of his early-season slump with arguably the best performance of his career thus far against the Portland Trail Blazers. On the second night of a back-to-back, Jovic finished with 29 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists on 10-16 shooting from the field. Most importantly, he helped lead Miami to a big win."
"In those first nine games of the season, Jovic was averaging just eight points and four rebounds per game on 41 percent shooting from the field. Especially considering that Jovic just signed a brand new contract extension with the Heat just before the start of the regular season."
Nikola Jovic struggled early in the season, feeling that everything he did was wrong and that he was not helping the team. He averaged about eight points and four rebounds over his first nine games, shooting 41 percent. On the second night of a back-to-back against Portland, he scored 29 points with nine rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-16 shooting, leading Miami to a significant win. The performance provided clear relief after signing a new contract extension before the season. Consistency remains uncertain, but the breakout showed his talent and the confidence boost he needed.
