Latest news
Jovic closed with one point (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one block in 12 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 loss to Golden State.
Jovic struggled to make an impact during his brief stint off the bench, failing to convert either of his three-point attempts and going without a rebound. The 23-year-old saw considerably less playing time than fellow reserves Pelle Larsson and Ryan Conwell, highlighting Jovic's uncertain place in Miami's rotation. With Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo and Bobby Portis occupying frontcourt minutes, Jovic remains difficult to trust in most fantasy formats.

Jovic will come off the bench in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Timberwolves, Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Jovic started in Miami's preseason finale with Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) taking a night off, but Antetokounmpo is back and starting on Opening Night. As a reserve last season, Jovic averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Jovic will start in Friday's preseason finale in Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bam Adebayo (rest) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) are sitting out the preseason finale, so Jovic will draw the start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Davion Mitchell, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Bobby Portis. In his previous start this preseason, Jovic finished with 14 points, six rebounds, three assists, two triples, two steals and one turnover across 21 minutes.

Jovic played 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 144-128 preseason win over the Nets, scoring five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and adding seven assists and five rebounds.
While he left the scoring to others, Jovic still made a strong contribution from the second unit. The 23-year-old big has struggled to stay healthy and establish himself as a regular part of the Heat rotation in his first four NBA seasons, never playing more than 47 regular-season games, and the offseason additions of Bobby Portis and Nick Richards will make bench minutes in the frontcourt even harder to come by.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 15
Jovic is not listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets.
Jovic got the start in Saturday's preseason loss to Minnesota, finishing with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 25 minutes. He will come off the bench once again Wednesday, though it's not known what his role will be versus Orlando on Friday.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 14
Jovic managed 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
Miami held out several key contributors Saturday, opening the door for Jovic to step into the starting five. The 23-year-old turned in an efficient shooting performance, closing the game as Miami's third-leading scorer. He also tied for the game-high mark in steals while finishing as one of five Heat players to grab at least six rebounds.
