Nikola Jovic News: Good to go against Indiana
Nikola Jovic has been cleared to play in tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers.
The 20-year-old forward missed the Heat's last two games with a sprained right ankle.
Jovic suffered the injury in the first quarter of Miami's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. He underwent an MRI the following day, which revealed a sprain.
Jovic has been a key contributor for the Heat this season, averaging 13.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. He has started all 54 games he has played in.
The Heat are currently 32-22 and in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. They are one game behind the fifth-place Indiana Pacers.
Tonight's game against the Pacers will be a tough test for the Heat. The Pacers are 33-21 and in fourth place in the East. They have won six of their last eight games.
The Heat will need Jovic to be at his best if they want to win tonight's game. He is a key part of their offense and defense.
