Miami Heat second-year forward Nikola Jovic has found himself in a bit of hot water ahead of his team’s Eastern Conference showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. This is after the Serbian supposedly went on an all-out rant about his lack of playing time with the Heat.
Nikola Jovic Unhappy With Situation in Miami?
A Serbian news outlet recently published an article that supposedly quoted Jovic talking about his frustrations with the Heat:
If you take this at face value, it is clear that Jovic is unhappy with his situation in Miami, particularly with how the team has supposedly refused to give him the opportunities he feels he deserves.
Nikola Jovic Clears Air Ahead of Milwaukee Bucks Game
Jovic caught wind of the controversial storyline and he decided to address it after Monday’s practice ahead of Miami’s Tuesday night bout against the Bucks. The Miami forward denied making such comments and claimed that the quotes were taken out of context.
Jovic cleared the air by stating his true feelings about his fledgling tenure in South Beach:
The young man went on to call out the Serbian media by pointing out that they have a reputation for making up “a lot of fake rumors.”
For what it’s worth, the Heat are currently dealing with a myriad of injuries ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against Milwaukee, so perhaps Jovic could see some action against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co.
