Likely to play Tuesday
Larsson (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS

Dec 8, 2025
Practices Monday
Larsson (hip) practiced Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat will provide an official injury designation for Larsson prior to Tuesday's game against the Magic. For now, the forward can be tentatively considered questionable to play.
Dec 6, 2025
Ruled out for Saturday
Larsson (hip) will not play Saturday against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest, but he can be considered day-to-day going forward. With the Heat thin on the wings Saturday, Jaime Jaquez could be set for an extended workload.
Dec 6, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Larsson is questionable to play Saturday against the Kings due to tightness in his right hip flexor, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Tyler Herro (toe) is doubtful for Saturday's game and Davion Mitchell (groin) is questionable, so the Heat's backcourt could be very thin Saturday night. If none of these guys can play, Dru Smith and Jamie Jaquez could see major minutes as starters.
Dec 5, 2025
Headed to bench
Larsson will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat will be going with a jumbo lineup featuring Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt for Friday's game, but Larsson should still see quality minutes in the rotation with Tyler Herro (toe) unavailable. Larsson is averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 assists and 1.1 triples per contest this season.
Dec 3, 2025
Starting Wednesday
Larsson is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Larsson suffered a foot sprain in Monday's win over the Clippers, but he's been given the green light to suit up Wednesday. He'll take on a starting role against the Mavericks due to the absence of Norman Powell (ankle). In 15 starts this season, Larsson is averaging 11.6 points, 4.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds across 26.8 minutes.
Dec 3, 2025
Good to go Wednesday
Larsson (foot) will play Wednesday against the Mavericks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
An MRI taken on Larsson's injured foot revealed a sprained toe, but he will shake off a questionable tag to suit up for this contest. Larsson is averaging 8.7 points, 4.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds over his last seven outings.
Dec 2, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Larsson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
An MRI on Pelle Larsson's injured foot revealed a sprained toe, but the forward is considered day-to-day. If he's unable to play Wednesday, guys like Jaime Jaquez, Dru Smith and Simone Fontecchio could absorb more minutes for Miami.
Dec 1, 2025
Goes down with foot sprain
Larsson won't return to Monday's game against the Clippers due to a left foot sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He'll finish with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in eight minutes.
ANALYSIS
Larsson picked up the injury at some point in the first half and can be considered day-to-day until further notice. Look for Jaime Jaquez and Dru Smith to pick up a few additional minutes with Larsson shut down for the rest of the night.
Nov 26, 2025
Headed to bench
Larsson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Larsson started in place of Norman Powell (groin) Monday, but Powell is back and starting Wednesday, which will shift Larsson back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Larsson owns averages of 3.0 points on 42.9 percent shooting in 5.4 minutes a night.
Nov 24, 2025
All around effort in win
Larsson amassed six points (2-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Although Larsson's shot was not falling Sunday, he dished a season-high eight assists and tied his season-high for rebounds. Larsson continues to find ways to contribute other than scoring, and will likely continue to play in the starting lineup with the return of Tyler Herro (ankle).
Nov 18, 2025
Comes close to double-double
Larsson produced 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 115-113 win over New York.
ANALYSIS
Larsson seems to have found a role in Miami's starting lineup, as this was his 11th straight start, and the second-year guard out of Arizona is finding ways to make an impact even if he's struggled with consistency on a game-to-game basis. Larsson has scored in double digits in seven of those 11 contests, and he seems to be getting in a groove from deep as well. He's on a run of three straight games draining at least two three-pointers. If he stays dialed in from beyond the arc, that will open up his opportunities to contribute regularly on offense.
Nov 8, 2025
Good to go Saturday
Larsson (illness) is available for Saturday's game against Portland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has yet to miss a game this season and will shake off his probable tag due to illness Saturday. Over his last five games (all starts), the second-year swingman has averaged 10.8 points, 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per contest.
Nov 8, 2025
Likely to play Saturday
Larsson (illness) has been listed as probable to play in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is dealing with an illness, but that is unlikely to keep him off the floor. The Arizona product is currently averaging 8.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and 34.6 percent from deep.
Nov 7, 2025
Good to go Friday
Larsson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is battling an illness, which made him a late addition to the injury report. The forward should continue to start, considering he's played in the first unit in five consecutive games. During that period, Larsson has averaged 10.4 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 26.1 minutes per game.
Nov 7, 2025
Questionable with illness
Larsson has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte with an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat are likely to see how Larsson is feeling following pregame warmups before clarifying his status. He has started five consecutive games, so one of Jaime Jaquez or Nikola Jovic would likely get the starting nod if Larsson is unable to suit up.
Nov 3, 2025
Hits for 17 in Sunday's start
Larsson had 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Making his third straight start in place of Norman Powell (groin), Larsson delivered a second strong performance, with two 17-point efforts sandwiched around a five-point dud against the Spurs on Thursday. The second-year forward is averaging 13.0 points, 4.3 boards, 4.0 assists and 1.7 threes in 27.7 minutes a contest as part of the starting five while shooting 56.0 percent from the floor, but his workload and usage will likely crater once Powell is cleared to return.
Oct 28, 2025
Starting sans Powell
Larsson will start in Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
With Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Larsson will get the starting nod for the first time this season. While the second-year swingman has averaged just 5.3 minutes per game in three regular-season appearances, he's likely to see significant playing time against the Hornets.
Oct 13, 2025
Returns to reserve role
Larsson won't start Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
With Miami resting its regulars, Larsson registered 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and four turnovers in 21 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 preseason loss to the Magic. He had an inconsistent role as a rookie, but with the Heat in the midst of a retooling year, Larsson could see plenty of developmental minutes.
Oct 13, 2025
Nets 14 points in 21 minutes
Larsson looked good through 21 minutes as a starter during Sunday's exhibition, registering 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two triples, two steals and four turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Larsson made the most of some increased opportunity Sunday with Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell and Simone Fontecchio all getting hit with a rest day, but he'll likely return to a limited reserve role for Monday's exhibition in Atlanta.
Oct 12, 2025
Joins starting lineup
Larsson will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is getting a rare start with the Heat resting several key players Sunday. Larsson has made some noise in training camp and could be in the rotation mix for Opening Night.
Oct 8, 2025
Cleared to play vs. Spurs
Larsson (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has overcome a quadriceps injury that he suffered during this past summer's EuroBasket run. With Tyler Herro (ankle) on the shelf, Larsson will be trying to make an impression this preseason in an effort to be part of Miami's Opening Night rotation.
Oct 7, 2025
Limited at Tuesday's practice
Larsson (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will be looking to make his first preseason appearance Wednesday against the Spurs, and he can be deemed questionable due to a quadriceps injury for that game. The 2024 second-rounder is battling mainly with Jaime Jaquez for reserve minutes behind Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins.
Oct 6, 2025
Still out Monday
Larsson (quadriceps) out for Monday's preseason game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is out for a second consecutive contest with a quadriceps injury, which he suffered during his final game at EuroBasket with Sweden. His next opportunity to make his first preseason cameo arrives Wednesday against the Spurs. Jaime Jaquez should handle more playing time Monday.
Oct 3, 2025
Out for Saturday
Larsson (quadriceps) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was unable to practice once again Friday. Larsson suffered a left quadriceps contusion during his final game at EuroBasket with Sweden and the Heat are going to proceed with caution. His next chance to play comes Monday against the Bucks.
Oct 1, 2025
Sits out practice
Larsson (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After being limited at Tuesday's session, Larsson got the day off Wednesday. Larsson suffered a left quadriceps contusion during his final game at EuroBasket with Sweden, and it sounds like the Heat are going to proceed with caution. Larsson's status for Saturday's preseason game versus Orlando appears iffy at best.
Sep 30, 2025
Doesn't play Tuesday
Larsson (quadriceps) didn't practice Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson suffered a left quadriceps contusion during his final game at EuroBasket with Sweden. However, he did get some work in on the side during Tuesday's practice. The first preseason game for the Heat will take place on Oct. 4 against the Magic.
Jul 17, 2025
Shut down for rest of Summer League
Larsson (not injury related) has played his last game during this Las Vegas Summer League, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson's 24-point performance in Monday's win against the Celtics will be his last appearance during the Las Vegas Summer League. The Arizona product played well during his stint in Las Vegas, scoring 14 points or more in each game he played while shooting 50 percent from the floor.
Jul 14, 2025
Paces Miami in SL win
Larsson logged 24 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes in Monday's 100-96 Summer League win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Larsson posted a game-high 24 points, finishing as one of three Heat players to score 20-plus points. The 24-year-old swingman also recorded a team-best mark in assists. Monday's matchup was Larsson's final Summer League game this year, as he's now set to join Sweden's national team to prepare for EuroBasket, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
Jul 13, 2025
Scores 14 in SL
Larsson posted 14 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 92-72 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was able to put together a respectable offensive performance despite only logging six shot attempts, finishing as one of three players in double figures for Miami. Larsson will likely have one final game at Summer League, as he is expected to leave to join Sweden's national team after the Heat's Summer League game Monday. He is also expected to play in EuroBasket later this offseason.
Jul 8, 2025
Logs 15 points in SL win
Larsson provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 93-79 Summer League win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Larsson contributed a solid stat line while finishing as one of five Heat players to score in double figures. He also tied the team-high marks in rebounds and assists. Over two Summer League outings, Larsson has totaled 33 points, eight rebounds and four assists in 51 minutes.
Jul 8, 2025
Available Tuesday
Larsson (rest) is available and starting in Tuesday's Summer League game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will return to action after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Lakers. The 24-year-old appeared in Saturday's win over the Spurs, contributing 18 points and three rebounds in 28 minutes.
Jul 6, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Larsson (rest) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Lakers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will sit in the second game of a back-to-back in the California Classic in San Francisco. The next opportunity for him to get back on the floor will be Tuesday against the Warriors.
Apr 12, 2025
Still out Sunday
Larsson (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will miss his third straight game Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie forward's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's Play-In game against Chicago.
Apr 10, 2025
Remaining out against New Orleans
Larsson (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will miss his second straight contest Friday due to a sprained ankle. Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson will likely continue to receive the majority of Miami's forward minutes off the bench in the rookie's absence. Larsson's next chance to suit up is Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington.
Apr 9, 2025
Late scratch Wednesday
Larsson sustained a sprained ankle lifting weights before Wednesday's game against the Bulls and will be unavailable for the contest, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was slated to come off the bench for the first time in six games Wednesday, but after suffering an injury pregame, he'll be unavailable. His absence should leave more minutes for Alec Burks and Duncan Robinson. Larsson's next chance to play will come Friday at New Orleans.
Apr 9, 2025
Not starting Wednesday
Larsson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will be available off the bench for this contest, though it's worth noting that the rookie out of Arizona has spent most of the season in that role. He's sliding back to the bench due to the returns of Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) and Haywood Highsmith (Achilles), which should limit his minutes considerably.
Apr 8, 2025
Productive on both ends
Larsson totaled 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 117-105 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Larsson made his sixth consecutive start Monday, reaching double figures for the fourth time during that stretch. He was efficient on offense and disruptive on defense, swiping three steals. During this six-start run, the rookie is putting up 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals across 29.7 minutes per game. Larsson has filled in nicely for the injured Andrew Wiggins, who has missed the past six contests with a nagging hamstring injury.
Apr 4, 2025
Records four steals
Larsson produced three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Larsson matched his career-high mark of four steals in the loss, but he cooled off on the offensive end. He's made the most of his newfound minutes in Miami with so many injuries on the roster, posting averages of 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 34.3 minutes.
Apr 1, 2025
Productive once again
Larsson notched 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is making a strong case to remain in the starting unit for the time being, as he's racked up 29 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, five steals and two blocks in his last two starts while shooting 50 percent from the floor. Larsson is starting only due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (hamstring), but the rookie out of Arizona has turned heads with his play of late as the Heat aim to make a late push for a playoff berth.
Mar 30, 2025
Impressive on both ends
Larsson ended Saturday's 118-95 win over the 76ers with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Larsson played a massive role in this win Saturday and arguably delivered one of his best performances of the season, filling the stat sheet with at least two tallies in each of the five major categories while ending just two points away from tying his career-best scoring mark. Larsson's upside shouldn't be very high going forward, and the only scenario in which he might earn significant minutes would be if Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) misses more time.
Mar 29, 2025
Making third career start
Larsson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will move into the starting lineup due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (hamstring), who didn't travel with the Heat for their upcoming three-game road trip and won't play in Saturday's matchup against the 76ers. Larsson has logged 14 and 18 minutes in his previous two starts this season, with the Heat losing both contests.
Mar 7, 2025
Starting Friday vs. Minnesota
Larsson is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will make his second start of his career Friday while Terry Rozier retreats to the bench. Larsson has seen inconsistent playing time this season, and since the beginning of February he has averaged 3.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 11.9 minutes per game across nine outings.
Mar 4, 2025
Career-best night off bench
Larsson contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes off the bench during Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 second-round pick set a new career scoring high while playing more than 20 minutes for the first time since Feb. 5, but Larsson's increased usage came with both Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez sidelined by ankle injuries, and in a game the Heat led by 19 points at halftime. Larsson can't be counted on to repeat this performance any time soon, but if Wiggins and Jaquez are both still in street clothes Wednesday in Cleveland, the 24-year-old forward might have some appeal as a bargain DFS option.
Feb 3, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Miami recalled Larsson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has been utilized sparingly by Miami this season, as the guard has averaged 12.6 minutes across 31 total appearances.
Jan 25, 2025
Back to bench role
Larsson is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Larsson posted four points and five rebounds across 14 minutes in the first start of his NBA career during Thursday's loss to the Bucks, and the rookie out of Arizona will return to his regular role off the bench. The Heat will start Haywood Highsmith in his place alongside Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware, Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro.
Jan 23, 2025
Moving to starting role
Larsson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The rookie out of Arizona will start for the first time in his career. He's averaging 4.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 13.0 minutes per game this season, but he's likely to see an expanded role as a starter.
Dec 28, 2024
Cleared to face Hawks
Larsson (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was probable for Saturday's game, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise. The rookie wing has played a significant role off the bench, averaging 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 16.8 minutes per game this season.
Dec 27, 2024
Likely to suit up Saturday
Larsson is probable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
The rookie out of Arizona didn't play against Orlando on Thursday, but the probable tag suggests he's likely to suit up if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Larsson is averaging 5.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 18.0 minutes per game off the bench in five outings in December.
Dec 26, 2024
Good to go against Orlando
Larsson (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After being a late addition to the injury report due to a right ankle sprain, Larsson has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday. The rookie forward is averaging 6.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Dec 26, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Larsson is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Magic due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Despite being listed as available all day, Larsson is now in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to a right ankle sprain that previously caused him to sit out five straight contests. With Jimmy Butler (conditioning) already ruled out, Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic could all see increased playing time against Orlando.
Dec 22, 2024
Posts five points in return
Larsson (ankle) tallied five points (1-2 FG, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Larsson had missed five straight games with an ankle sprain before being cleared to play Saturday. With Jimmy Butler (illness) sitting out, the Heat had extra minutes available for many of their supporting players, and Larsson was one of the beneficiaries. Though Butler's potential return Monday against the Nets would leave fewer minutes to go around, Larsson could still maintain a spot in the rotation over Haywood Highsmith, who was moved from a starting role to the bench Saturday and played just six minutes.
Dec 20, 2024
Good to go against OKC
Larsson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will return from a five-game absence Friday due to an ankle injury. In the seven games prior to his injury, he averaged 7.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 20.0 minutes.
Dec 19, 2024
Iffy against OKC
Larsson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson returned to practice Thursday but is still in danger of missing his fifth straight contest against Oklahoma City. With Nikola Jovic (ankle) also questionable, Dru Smtih could continue to receive increased playing time.
Dec 19, 2024
Returns to practice
Larsson (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has missed Miami's last four contests due to a right ankle sprain. While the Heat have yet to release an official injury report for Friday's game versus the Thunder, the rookie forward's return to practice is a good sign of his availability.
Dec 15, 2024
Won't travel to Detroit
Larsson (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson, Nikola Jovic (ankle) and Josh Richardson (heel) won't travel with the Heat to Detroit, and their next chance to suit up will come in Miami on Friday against the Thunder. In Larsson's absence, Kevin Love and Jaime Jaquez may see a few extra minutes against the Pistons.
Dec 14, 2024
Limited in practice
Larsson (ankle) did work on the side of Saturday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has missed Miami's last three contests due to an ankle injury. While the rookie forward does appear to be nearing a return, his status for Monday's matchup with Detroit is uncertain.
Dec 12, 2024
Ruled out Thursday
Larsson (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Larsson's absence streak will extend to three games Thursday after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to a sprained right ankle. The rookie forward's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Detroit.
Dec 11, 2024
Upgraded to doubtful
Larsson (ankle) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Larsson has missed Miami's last two contests while attending to a sprained ankle. Dru Smith has seen the most notable uptick in workload during the rookie's absence.
Dec 8, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Larsson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Larsson will miss both games in the Heat's back-to-back set after spraining his right ankle during Friday's practice. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Raptors.
Dec 7, 2024
Won't play Saturday
Larsson (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Suns, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson sustained a right ankle sprain during Friday's practice, and the injury turned out to be severe enough to rule him out from Saturday's game altogether. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Cavaliers in the second leg of this back-to-back set, but even if he does, he'll have a role off the bench in a best-case scenario.
Dec 6, 2024
Iffy for Saturday with ankle sprain
Larsson sustained a right ankle sprain during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Larsson is questionable to suit up while he deals with a right ankle sprain, though the recency of the injury could lead to him sitting in his first game since Nov. 17. The rookie is slowly carving out a role with the Heat, and in his last five outings he averaged 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 16.4 minutes per game.
Dec 6, 2024
Turns ankle in practice Friday
Larsson turned his ankle in Friday's practice, and his status for Saturday's game against the Suns will be updated after he undergoes testing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsson's status will remain something to monitor as the club is expected to provide an update Friday. However, he should be considered questionable at best for Saturday until that update comes. The rookie has played double-digit minutes in each of the Heat's last seven outings, during which he averaged 7.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 20.0 minutes per contest.
Nov 24, 2024
Career best outing in overtime win
Larsson racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Larsson provided a spark off the bench in Sunday's extended contest, ending as one of two Heat players in double figures in scoring and as one of five players to do so. Larsson set a new career high in scoring, now having reached double figures in scoring twice this year.
Nov 5, 2024
Best game of season thus far
Larsson posted 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Larsson made the most of his opportunity Monday and posted a career-best mark in scoring, and this was also the first time he logged more than 20 minutes off the bench. Larsson is not going to assume a starting role any time soon, but he might be productive in deeper formats as long as he hovers around the 20-minute mark on a per-game basis.
Oct 23, 2024
Not starting Wednesday
Larsson won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With most of the Heat's regulars resting during the preseason finale, Larsson drew a spot start. However, aside from Josh Richardson (shoulder), the Heat are healthy heading into the regular season, so Larsson isn't guaranteed playing time on Opening Night.
Oct 18, 2024
Struggles with shot vs. Memphis
Larsson finished Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to the Grizzlies with 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Larsson got his first start of the preseason Friday, and although he struggled from the field, he finished the game with a team-high plus-21 point differential. The rookie second-round pick is unlikely to see much playing time at the NBA level, meaning he could spend most of the 2024-25 regular season getting meaningful reps in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Stuffs statsheet in SL
Larsson logged 21 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds and four steals during Sunday's 102-99 win over the Warriors in the Summer League semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Larsson was excellent on both ends of the floor, finishing as one of two Heat players to top 20 points while pacing Miami in steals. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Larsson characterizes as a three-and-D wing and should compete with Duncan Robinson, Josh Richardson and Alec Burks for minutes off the bench during the regular season.

Selected by Miami
Larsson was drafted by the Heat with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After starting his collegiate career at Utah, Larsson transferred to Arizona, where he spent the last three seasons. In 2023-24, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 36 games. Larsson can provide quality perimeter defense along with a consistent outside shot, as he converted 42.6 percent of his 3.0 three-point attempts per contest last year.
