Miami Heat Teammates Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic Will Have a Reunion on Thursday
Miami Heat teammates Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic are facing off for a chance at the gold medal.
Team USA will play Serbia in the semifinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday at 3 PM EST.
It begs the question of which Heat starter will emerge victorious: the heavy favorite in Adebayo, or could an inspiring performance from Jovic lift Serbia to victory?
Through four games in the Olympics, the 27-year-old Adebayo is performing exceptionally well. His three-point shooting is practical and improved, knocking down numerous throughout the tournament.
Adebayo is growing closer to his second gold medal. The USA recently defeated Brazil 122-87, and they’re starting to smell blood. Serbia fell short to the USA multiple times earlier in the summer, with coach Steve Kerr and Co. winning by a margin of more than 20 points in each.
The 21-year-old Jovic is dealing with a variety of issues keeping him off the floor. He did not suit up against Australia due to illness while slowly working back due to his ankle injury, which he suffered during the offseason. However, there’s a chance to hit the ground running in this matchup against Adebayo and the rest of the loaded USA roster.
If Serbia hopes to walk away victorious to earn a spot in the title game, they can’t just rely on the three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. Going up against the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry requires a full-power unit, along with some luck.
Whoever comes out on top marches to Saturday’s championship while the loser heads to battle for the bronze medal.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
