Nikola Jovic Agrees to a Four-Year Contract Extension with Miami
Nikola Jovic agreed to a four-year, $62.4 million contract extension with the Miami Heat. The 22-year-old was selected in the first round (No. 27 overall) by the Heat in the 2022 NBA Draft. He had a few rough seasons to begin his tenure in the National Basketball Association. However, Jovic played much better last season, averaging a career-high 10.7 points with 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 37.1% from deep. Unfortunately, he was limited to only 46 games, mostly due to a broken right hand, and missed the remainder of the season. Jovic was cleared for action and returned to the court during FIBA EuroBasket 2025, where he averaged 12.8 points for Serbia. With Jimmy Butler III now in Golden State, Jovic has an excellent chance to carve out a meaningful role in Erik Spoelstra's rotation in 2025. He may even get some run in the starting lineup, especially with Tyler Herro (foot) out a few months. All things considered, even with the opportunity for an expanded role, Jovic may have trouble being a consistent producer, although he is certainly worth adding late in fantasy drafts.
