Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic plays sparingly in 95-91 loss to the United States.
For Miami Heat fans hoping to see a Bam Adebayo-Nikola Jovic matchup on Thursday, it never materialized.
Adebayo and the USA will face off against France Saturday for the gold medal while Serbia will face Germany for the bronze medal. He is expected to play a crucial role in the Heat's rotation this season, potentially starting alongside Jimmy Butler and Adebayo in the frontcourt. Alternatively, coach Erik Spoelstra could opt for defense with Haywood Highsmith at the power forward.
