Heat's Pelle Larsson: Omitted from injury report
Larsson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Larsson sat out the Heat's last two preseason games due to an illness, though he's ready to go for the start of the regular season. The 25-year-old swingman took a step forward in the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals in 26.4 minutes per game across 70 regular-season appearances (54 starts). He figures to be one of the first men off the Heat's bench in 2026-27.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Chips in 13 points in preseason win
Larsson supplied 13 points (3-3 FG, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 11 minutes in Saturday's 129-105 preseason win over the Raptors.
Larsson came off the bench and only played in the first half Saturday, though he was productive in his limited run. The 25-year-old swingman finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer while tying for the team lead in steals. He's expected to play a sizable role with Miami's second unit and could take on increased ball-handling duties in his third year in the league.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Could take on increased on-ball duties
Larsson said Monday that he's prepared for the season and expects to play some point guard, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Larsson was a regular in the starting lineup last season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 26.4 minutes per game in 70 regular-season appearances (54 starts). Although the Heat are projected to start Davion Mitchell, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, Larsson figures to handle sizable playing time whether he starts or not. The Heat gave up Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis and Jaime Jaquez as part of the trade for Antetokounmpo, leaving them with fewer ballhandlers ahead of the 2026-27 season. Antetokounmpo should have the ball in his hands often, and Mitchell is likely to see plenty of on-ball responsibilities. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Larsson's role expand this season.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: To compete for starting role
Larsson is expected to compete for Miami's starting shooting guard job during the preseason, though Klay Thompson enters camp as the clear front-runner, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Thompson's high-volume perimeter shooting makes him an especially appealing fit alongside Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo, potentially leaving Larsson in a reserve role to begin the campaign. Larsson could still have an opportunity to carve out a meaningful spot in the Heat's rotation even if he doesn't win the starting job.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Signs extension with Miami
Larsson agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension with the Heat on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Larsson is coming off a solid 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 26.4 minutes per game in 70 regular-season appearances (54 starts). The 25-year-old swingman figures to continue seeing meaningful minutes and will likely compete for additional playing time with the likes of Klay Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Ryan Conwell (hip).

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Looking to maintain key role
Larsson dropped 31 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-14 FT) and five rebounds for Sweden in Thursday's FIBA World Cup qualifier against Finland.
Larsson is leaving a strong impression while getting reps overseas this offseason, as his pathway to minutes for the Heat during the upcoming season has another obstacle following the signing of Klay Thompson. Larsson should still have an Opening Night role on the wing, as his main competition for playing time otherwise looks to be rookie second-rounder Ryan Conwell and a mostly unproven Myron Gardner.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Team option picked up
The Heat exercised their third-year team option on Larsson's contract Wednesday.
Larsson is officially set to return to Miami in the 2026-27 campaign after starting 54 of his 70 regular-season games last season, during which he averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 26.4 minutes per tilt. Following Miami's acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Bobby Portis (wrist) in exchange for Tyler Herro (foot), Jaime Jaquez, Kasparas Jakucionis and Kel'el Ware, Larsson figures to command a significant role this upcoming season, especially because Norman Powell is unlikely to re-sign.
