Won't return Tuesday
Jovic suffered a reduced septum during Tuesday's game against the Pistons and will not return.
Analysis
The forward collided with Malik Beasley in the first quarter before heading back to the locker room, and the Heat have ruled him out for the remainder of the game due to the nose injury. With Jovic out, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson are candidates for an increased role.

Season-best effort from second unit
Jovic ended with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 95-94 victory over the Timberwolves.
Analysis
With Kevin Love finally ready to make his season debut and Jimmy Butler (ankle) sidelined, the Heat shook up their starting frontcourt, with Jovic shifting to the second unit for the first time in 2023-24 in favor of Love and Haywood Highsmith. Jovic stayed productive though, tying his season high in scoring and setting a new high in boards. It's not clear if the third-year big will move back into the starting five once Butler is healthy, but he's making a case to retain a significant role -- through the six games in which he's played at least 20 minutes, Jovic is averaging 10.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 threes.

Coming off bench Sunday
Jovic is not in Miami's starting lineup for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
Jovic has started in each of the Heat's first nine games of the 2024-25 regular season, but he will retreat to the bench Sunday as Kevin Love gets the start. Over his last five outings, Jovic has averaged 6.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 17.4 minutes per game.

Modest production in loss
Jovic finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to Denver.
Analysis
After playing only seven minutes as a starter in the first half, Jovic was benched to begin the second half. However, that didn't stop him from being productive, as he recorded seven points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 13 minutes during the second half. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he misses time, the Heat may need Jovic to be more aggressive offensively.

Plays five minutes
Jovic recorded four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in five minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.
Analysis
Jovic was part of the starting unit Wednesday, a status he's held in all seven appearances this season. However, he logged a season low in minutes and didn't retake the floor after being subbed out with 6:44 left in the first quarter. While it isn't abnormal for Jovic to handle fewer minutes than a typical starter -- he averaged just 21.5 minutes per game before the loss to Phoenix -- Wednesday's game marked a new low for the third-year forward. His unstable role makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats, and his minutes should be watched closely by fantasy managers moving forward.
