The team confirmed on Tuesday that Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic will be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks due to a fractured hand.

The injury occurred during Sunday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, where Jovic sustained a break in the second metacarpal of his right hand.

As a result, the 21-year-old is expected to be out of action for at least 15 games while he recovers.

So far this season, Jovic has been contributing an average of 10.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
