Jovic saw little NBA play as a rookie. In the 15 NBA games he appeared, he scored 5.5 points on average. Jovic, who represented Serbia at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, stood out. He scored 10.1 points per game and shot 56.6% overall, including 42.3% from three-point range. This season, the Heat view the 20-year-old as a crucial part in their progress.
