Nikola Jovic: Facing long-term absence
The Heat announced Tuesday that Jovic will miss another four weeks with a lower-back stress reaction, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The Scoop: Jovic hasn't played for the Heat since Dec. 26 and likely suffered the injury while logging 26 minutes for the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday. Considering the rookie won't even be re-evaluated until after the four-week mark, his absence could end up stretching into the All-Star break in mid-February.
