"Nikola Jovic, a popular pre-season breakout candidate, is now practically unplayable for the Miami Heat. Over the last two games, Jovic has logged a combined 10 minutes and has more turnovers than points and made baskets. He's been a net-negative for the Heat for the majority of this season, and there may be no easy answers for how to handle his situation moving forward."
"The Heat needs to see more consistency from Jovic, but at the same time, it's hard for them to get that if he's not given an opportunity to prove himself or find his rhythm. And, right now, especially with the depth that Miami has, it's going to be difficult for Spo to find meaningful minutes for Jovic. He already had one DNP-CD a couple of games ago,"
Nikola Jovic entered the season as a pre-season breakout candidate but has become nearly unplayable for the Miami Heat. He logged a combined 10 minutes over the last two games and recorded more turnovers than points and made baskets. He has been a net-negative for most of the season and finished the most recent loss with two points and five turnovers. Coach Erik Spoelstra maintains faith, yet the team needs more consistent production. Roster depth limits Jovic's opportunities; he had a DNP‑CD and re-entered the rotation only due to Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s injury. Jovic averages eight points and four rebounds on 40 percent shooting and 29 percent from three and has not looked comfortable in the Heat's offense.
