MIAMI -- Nikola Jovic will miss at least the next four weeks with a broken bone in his right hand, the Miami Heat announced Tuesday.
Jovic broke the second metacarpal in his hand during Sunday's game at Milwaukee and was diagnosed with the fracture at halftime. He didn't play on Monday at Atlanta and was evaluated by Heat chief of hand surgery Elizabeth Ann Ouellette and team physician Harlan Selesnick on Tuesday, after which the four-week timetable was determined.
Jovic will wear a splint until he's re-evaluated, the team said.
"I feel for Niko," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said when the injury happened.
