Remember the seemingly surefire breakout for Nikola Jovic? You know, the one that looked like it might define the 2025-26 NBA season at large for the Miami Heat?
Well, it hasn't happened. What's worse is there have been zero indications it'll come any time soon. He is scoring and distributing less than last season while shooting worse than he has since his rookie year. He has a single three-pointer (on seven attempts) to show for his last three trips to the hardwood combined.
And yet, it still feels like he could find his way out of this.
