Heat's Nikola Jovic: Won't play Sunday

Jovic (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Jovic is dealing with lower back pain and will not travel with the team. The Heat also play Monday in Atlanta, and it's unlikely Jovic will be available for that one. With a strong preseason under his belt, Jovic may have done enough to win a starting role.
