Misses practice Thursday

An MRI came back negative, and it sounds like this will be a day-to-day issue for the rookie. As for Saturday's preseason game against Orlando, it's unclear if Jakucionis will be able to give it a go.

Extended by Miami

Jovic has seen his role grow with the Heat each season since being selected with the 27th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft. The 22-year-old averaged 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 25.1 minutes per game during the 2024-25 regular season. He returned from a hand injury for the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs and scored in double figures in two of four games against the Cavaliers. Entering his fourth NBA season, Jovic figures to be a key bench contributor for Miami, serving as the third big behind Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.

Sits out practice

After being limited at Tuesday's session, Larsson got the day off Wednesday. Larsson suffered a left quadriceps contusion during his final game at EuroBasket with Sweden, and it sounds like the Heat are going to proceed with caution. Larsson's status for Saturday's preseason game versus Orlando appears iffy at best.
