Nikola Jovic Injury: Ruled out Friday

Jovic (back) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against Memphis, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Jovic is still dealing with lower back pain and will miss his third consecutive preseason game. The 22-year-old was a full participant in Thursday's practice, but his status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.
