Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic has fractured the second metacarpal in his right hand but does not require surgery. He will be in a splint for the next four weeks, following evaluation by a specialist and a team physician. Jovic, who was having an impressive season, averaging 10.7 points and 3.9 rebounds, got injured during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite the setback, he might return in time for late March or April, which will impact the Heat's play-in chances in the postseason.
"Jovic suffered a fracture in the second metacarpal of his right hand but will not require surgery, with a re-evaluation set for four weeks."
"He only played 15 minutes in the game against the Bucks, scoring seven points before missing the second half due to injury."
