Miami Heat monitor Nikola Jovic and Victor Oladipo

The Miami Heat are monitoring two different roster situations involving Nikola Jovic and Victor Oladipo.

Nikola Jovic’s market value in the NBA has reportedly declined due to inconsistent performance and a significant upcoming contract. The Serbian power forward is set to earn an average of $15.6 million annually starting next summer. During the previous season, Jovic averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, with notable declines in field goal and three-point shooting percentages. Previous trade discussions, including potential moves involving the Dallas Mavericks, highlighted doubts regarding his trade value.

Meanwhile, former All-Star Victor Oladipo is training at the Heat’s Kaseya Center in an attempt to return to the NBA after three years away from the league. While the franchise is monitoring his progress, roster constraints and Oladipo’s injury history present challenges for a potential signing. The Heat currently have limited availability for standard contracts and must balance preseason minutes among their existing roster.
