The 2025-26 NBA season has so far been one to forget for fourth-year Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic. While there's obviously time to turn things around—and ways that he could do it—Heat fans might be losing faith for what was supposed to be such a big step forward.
Someone awfully important in the basketball world remains a believer, though. And it's none other than three-time MVP—and Jovic's Serbian National Team running mate—Nikola Jokic.
"He was made because I signed the extension," Jovic said of Jokic, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
