Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic sustained a fractured second metacarpal in his right hand, ruling out surgery but leaving his season status uncertain. The team announced he will be re-evaluated in four weeks while in a splint. Jovic had been enjoying a strong season, playing critical minutes and averaging career highs before the injury occurred during a recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As the Heat face limited time left in the regular season, they will need to adjust without him, looking to players like Kyle Anderson for support.
Jovic, who doesn't need surgery, will be in a splint and re-evaluated in four weeks, raising questions about his season's continuity after breaking his right hand.
Despite his injury, Jovic had been experiencing one of the best stretches of his career, averaging 10.7 points and contributing significantly to the Heat's rotation.
