2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite playing just 46 games during the 2024-25 season due to a hand injury, Jovic turned some heads with his style of play throughout the campaign. He finished with averages of 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes per game. The Heat opted to stand pat during the offseason, with the only notable acquisition being Norman Powell. This could result in Jovic stepping into a slightly larger role for the 2025-26 season, with a lot likely depending on the early-season results. While his upside in any one category is limited, his ability to play as a makeshift facilitator from the forward position is intriguing. Look for Jovic to replicate at least what he was able to do last season, with the possibility of slight improvements should his minutes increase closer to 30 at any point. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $62.4 million contract extension with the Heat in October of 2025. 
Iffy for Wednesday
Jovic is questionable to play Wednesday against the Warriors due to a right hip impingement.
ANALYSIS
Jovic wasn't listed on the Heat's initial injury report released Tuesday, so he may have injured his hip at some point overnight or during the team's morning shootaround. The Heat will likely see how Jovic recovers over the afternoon before deciding on his status for Wednesday's game closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Should Jovic miss Thursday's contest along with Bam Adebayo (toe) -- who is also listed as questionable -- plenty of minutes in the Miami frontcourt would be up for grabs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After an injury-riddled start to his sophomore season, Jovic finished strongly, starting 26 of his final 27 games. Across the last two months of the season, he averaged 9.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per game. Heading into the 2024-25 campaign, Jovic may very well hold onto his starting position, putting him on the fantasy radar, even in some standard leagues. Should his playing time increase to 27 minutes per game, he has the upside to at least nudge the top 100. However, he remains largely unproven and although he could be a starter, there is no guarantee he will play typical starter's minutes. Factoring in the uncertainty, Jovic could be worth taking a flier on late in drafts. Should it not pan out as hoped, the limited upside should reassure managers he is safe to move on from.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spoelstra wants more from him
Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra is hoping to get more out of Jovic going forward, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
"When he plays with a force of will and an intention, it's always starting with him, and an approach every day, to approach a practice day and a shootaround and a film session like it's really important," Spoelstra said. "He's made improvements with that. It's still not where it needs to be, because he's young and doesn't see that it's always important. But he's getting there. And then it's a matter of consistency. But you can see the possibilities when he has that intention and things are important to him." Jovic hasn't lived up to the offseason hype thus far, but it sounds like Spoelstra is still a big believer. Through 13 games, he's averaging 9.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes per contest.
