Oct. 3: Jovic’s four-year extension with the Heat is now official, per the team’s Twitter account. Oct 1: Nikola Jovic has agreed to a four-year, $62.4MM rookie scale extension with the Heat, agents Jeff Schwartz, Sean Kennedy and Jared Mucha of Excel Sports Management tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link). Jovic was primarily used off the bench last season, starting just 10 games after making 38 starts the year before. The Heat selected Jovic with the 27th pick in the 2022 draft, but he battled injuries as a rookie and only appeared in 15 games. Teams have until October 20, the day before the start of the regular season, to finalize rookie scale extensions.
