Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) appeared on the injury report Monday but is considered available for the matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He's still dealing with a left ankle sprain but is good to go after playing on Saturday. He finished with four points, one rebound, and one steal while shooting 0-for-3 from the floor and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line across 19 minutes. He'll likely remain in the starting five, but isn't recommended as a streaming option in standard leagues.
Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) has been ruled out of another game after returning from his previous eight-game absence. He was able to see the court for 24 minutes against the Raptors last week, but has suffered a left ankle sprain and will not play Monday against the Pistons. Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely see the added opportunities off of the bench after playing just 15 minutes in the last contest. He was able to register six points and three rebounds in limited time though.
Miami Heat forward/center Nikola Jovic (ankle) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash against the Lakers. He's missed five games with an ankle sprain and was also ruled out for Wednesday's contest on the initial injury report, but Jovic has apparently made big progress in his recovery over the last 24 hours. The 21-year-old has an inconsistent role with the Heat, averaging 18.2 minutes with eight starts in 14 appearances this season. He has notched 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.
Miami Heat have ruled out forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) and center Kel'el Ware (G-League assignment) for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Key players Jimmy Butler (knee), Kevin Love (back), and Josh Richardson (illness) are all listed as questionable, adding uncertainty to Miami's rotation. Jovic, who averages 7.7 points per game, will be a notable absence, for Miami Heat's offense and dealing a blow to fantasy managers. Butler's potential return would provide a significant boost to Miami's offense, while the statuses of Love and Richardson could open the door for other players to make an impact.
Jovic started the first eight games of the season for the Miami Heat before sliding to a bench role for his next six games. He has missed the Heat's last three games after sustaining an ankle injury last Sunday against the Mavericks. In the three games he has missed, Duncan Robinson has averaged over 30 minutes a game while producing 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Haywood Highsmith has also played extra minutes in the last two games, producing solid counting stats. Kevin Love had eight points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 13 minutes in his return. Love was listed as available to play Sunday as well and can be a punt play along with Highsmith in DFS contests.
