New concerning Nikola Jovicthat we had left Sunday evening with a fracture of the hand, and more precisely of the second metacarpus, in a defeat in Milwaukee. We learn from the Heat that he has been well underwent since and he will not come back for four weeks.
In the best of cases, the Serbian can therefore return to the end of March and it is a good thing for Miami, when you know that the young winger of 21 is a motor element of the Floridian bench.
This season, he turns at 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 medium assists (37% 3-point) and he had taken more and more importance in the systems of Erik Spoelstra, even before the departure of Jimmy Butler.
In any case, the Heat coach will have to continue tinkering with his rotation by the return of Nikola Jovic and we imagine that Duncan Robinson, Kyle Anderson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Haywood Highsmith will have to do more to relay Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins on 3/4 posts.
