Larsson is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Dallas.
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.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: All-around effort in win
Rotowire
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.
Although Larsson's shot was not falling Sunday, he dished a season-high eight assists and tied his season high in rebounds. Larsson continues to find ways to contribute other than scoring, but he may be ousted from the starting lineup when Tyler Herro (ankle) returns to action this week.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
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.
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.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Larsson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
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.

Rotowire
Larsson has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte with an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
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.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Hits for 17 in Sunday's start
Rotowire
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.
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 Larsson's workload and usage will likely crater once Powell is cleared to return.
