Nikola Jović (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Јовић, pronounced [nǐkola jǒːʋitɕ]; born 9 June 2003) is a Serbian professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected 27th overall by the Heat in the 2022 NBA draft.
- Jović was born in Leicester, England. His father, Ilija Jovic, was playing basketball there. When Nikola was nine years old, the family moved to Belgrade where Nikola first trained in water polo.
- He spent last year playing in the Adriatic League. Jovic averaged 11.7 points – second on the team – 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 27.8 minutes per game for Mega Bemax on 9.4 shots, topping 20 points three times.
- He was named to the All-Tournament Team in the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup. Scoring 18.1 points per game, Jovic was joined on the honorary team by 2022 lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Chet Holmgren, projected 2023 No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama and Purdue’s Zach Edey.
- He can shoot. While he only shot 35.6 percent on threes last season, it was on solid volume at nearly five attempts. If we’re to play amateur Shot Dr. for a moment, he does a great job consistently getting his feet underneath him off of movement and he has a quick, fluid motion.
