2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Signed a two-year, $4.59 million contract with the Heat in July of 2022. Heat exercised $2.46 million team option for 2024-25 in October of 2023. Heat exercised $4.45 million team option for 2025-26 in September of 2024. 
Scores team-high 24 points
Jovic logged 24 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Jovic was the only positive on a night the Heat would rather forget. Jovic put together an encouraging season, but given the Heat's roster could be headed for change, it's unclear what his role will look like moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Jovic played just 15 games during his rookie season, providing very little in terms of tangible production. In 13.6 minutes per night, he averaged 5.5 points and 2.1 rebounds. Looking ahead to his sophomore campaign, there is little reason to think anything changes, at least from a minutes' perspective. Chances are, he suits up for more games, but that does not mean he will take any major steps forward. Kevin Love and Caleb Martin are both ahead of him in the rotation, while Orlando Robinson is coming off an impressive Summer League stint. He would need a couple of injuries to other players to have any chance at putting up fantasy-relevant numbers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heat wanted him around
The Heat were reluctant to include Jovic in any trade packages for Kevin Durant, according to Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.
ANALYSIS
The Heat weren't willing to part with rookie center Kel'el Ware, Jovic or more than one future first-round pick in the discussions to acquire Durant, and ultimately, that led to the veteran forward being traded to the Houston Rockets instead of the Heat. The 21-year-old wing has shown flashes of the player he can be, and this summer seems critical for his development, especially now that he's completely healthy after sustaining a broken hand in February. He was limited to only 46 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, though he averaged 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers across 25.1 minutes per contest.
