"With his poor play to start this season, Nikola Jovic may be playing his way not only out of the Miami Heat's long-term plans, but he may find himself off the team completely if things don't turn around quickly. As the next trade season quickly approaches, you can't help but wonder if Jovic will be on the block with how much he's struggled to fit in with the team."
"Through the first quarter-plus of the season, Jovic is averaging eight points and four rebounds per game on 39 percent shooting from the field overall and 28 percent shooting from 3-point range. Perhaps most concerning, Jovic has almost completely fallen out of the team's rotation over the last couple of weeks. Considering that Jovic was a popular breakout candidate heading into the start of this season, this has pretty much been a worst-case scenario for both Jovic and the Heat."
Nikola Jovic has struggled early, averaging eight points and four rebounds per game on 39 percent overall shooting and 28 percent from three. He has largely fallen out of the Miami Heat's rotation during recent weeks. Jovic entered the season as a popular breakout candidate but has instead hit a prolonged slump that threatens his role and long-term standing with the team. The Heat could consider trading him before the deadline, but a recently signed extension contains a poison pill provision that complicates trades and salary-matching. Limited playing time further reduces chances for a quick turnaround.
