Nikola Jovic, Miami Heat forward, faced a tough season due to injuries, managing only 46 games. He struggled to contribute in the Olympics, averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds. Jovic is focused on EuroBasket, emphasizing his training since the end of the NBA season. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play and reflected on his prior challenges, feeling confident about his health and readiness for the tournament, stating that he knows he can handle the physical demands ahead.
"I've been training individually for a long time now. The season ended pretty early for Miami. We did make the playoffs, which was really important to us, but I've been here since May 1st. It's been three months. I've literally been training since May 5th ... I'm already ready!"
"(Last year,) I can't say I was a burden to the team, but I couldn't help enough. I managed to play a bit, but then I got sick over there and couldn't play at all. Sometimes I even forget that I made it into the lineup coming off a broken foot."
