Nikola Jovic has been a hot property after being drafted into the NBA by the Miami Heat, even being likened to Michael Jordan by his teammate Bam Adebayo. The Miami forward has been on a tear ever since. However, the acclaim and public interest generated by being in the NBA means people are curious about his personal life. 

Specifically, whether he is dating someone or not. And more pressingly, if he is, then WHO is he dating? Well, if you’re one of those who are curious about the Serbian’s relationship status, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered, so let’s dive headfirst into the question.

Is Nikola Jovic dating anyone? A look into the Heat star’s love life

It may be disappointing to hear but no reports confirm whether Jovic is dating anyone. Although, there are rumors. A few videos on TikTok popped up, indicating the Serbian may be dating a girl named Adriana Djokovic. Adding more fuel to the rumor is the fact that Jovic also follows her on Instagram. 

Nevertheless, we cannot say for certain that the Miami Heat’s forward is seeing her. We can speculate and guess endlessly but until Jovic confirms it, speculation and rumors are all we have. Hence, there are no confirmed reports regarding his relationship status.

But something we can tell you all about is how Nikola Jokic’s countryman started off in the NBA as a rookie.

When was he drafted into the NBA?

Nikola Jovic was declared for the 2022 NBA Draft in April 2022. The Miami Heat selected Jovic as the 27th overall pick in the draft. He made his preseason debut against Minnesota. However, it took until Jovic’s second preseason match for his effect to be felt. Slowly and steadily, he’s coming to light.

Jovic dropped 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 important steals against the Brooklyn Nets. The kicker? He did all this in just 16 minutes, showing everyone the potential he carried. However, minutes are hard to come by as a rookie in the NBA so Jovic came off the bench for most of his games in the regular season. 

And before making his regular season debut, Jovic invited trouble upon himself through unsportsmanlike conduct. An altercation broke out in a game between the Toronto Raptors and Miami.

Being hotblooded while lacking experience is clearly a bad cocktail as Jovic left the bench to enter the fray. His actions led to the NBA suspending him for the rematch against the Raptors without pay. The Heat would end up losing that game. He finally made his debut against the Portland Trail Blazers, off the bench, in the following game. However, fans got another glimpse of what the Serbian could do when the Heat met the Raptors again in November 2022.

Jovic dropped a then career-high of 13 points in 24 minutes against Toronto. He would follow up by outdoing himself in the following game against the Washington Wizards, scoring 18 points. However, his numbers slowly tapered off after that.

All in all, Jovic ended his rookie season averaging 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 15 games. Now in his 3rd NBA season, we will surely see more of the Serbian in the years to come!
