The Miami Heat and Nikola Jovic's relationship may have gotten off to a rocky start, but there's no question that the team, and head coach Erik Spoelstra specifically, is expecting big things from the versatile forward in 2025-26. Spo made it quite clear that he's encouraged by his progression over the last few years and that he's excited about Jovic's potential heading into his fourth season with the team.
In short, as Jovic enters what is going to be a huge year for his Heat future, Spo is looking for another jump in his progression.
For the Heat as a whole, there's no question that they'll greatly benefit from another developmental jump in Jovic's game.
