Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Friday's tip-off against the Atlanta Hawks. The Swedish rookie will suit up, but it wouldn't be surprising if he stayed on the bench for the entire contest, as happened in Wednesday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Kyle Anderson led the second unit against Chicago and will likely do so again on Friday.
Miami Heat guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday's play-in matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The rookie has been out since April 7 with a sprained ankle but started in six consecutive games before going down with the injury. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said that he expects Larsson to be able to suit up, so it seems he could receive some minutes. It's unclear whether or not he'll move back into the starting lineup, though. Across 55 appearances this season, Larsson averaged 4.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. If he does see some playing time, he'll likely take some minutes from Alec Burks and Davion Mitchell.
Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) is considered questionable for Friday's play-in action against the Atlanta Hawks. Larsson was also uncertain for Wednesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls but was upgraded to available ahead of tip-off. However, he did not receive any playing time off the Miami bench. The Swedish rookie has been nursing an ankle sprain recently, which sidelined him for three games at the end of the regular season. With the Heat squad now relatively healthy, it seems unlikely that Larsson will play a significant role during the postseason.
Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He missed the final three regular-season games due to an ankle sprain and was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday's play-in game. Larsson has been a starter for each of his last six appearances, averaging 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals. However, during this stretch, he experienced increased usage due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins, who will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Therefore, Larsson will likely have to adjust to a reduced role in the rotation, which will negatively impact his fantasy value.
Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. After spraining his right ankle, Larsson has been forced to skip three games, and he may have to sit out another one. The Swedish rookie saw a big boost in playing time late in the season and made six consecutive starts before his injury. With Larsson unavailable, the Heat need to get more out of Kyle Anderson, Duncan Robinson, and Alec Burks (back), who is set to return from a one-game absence.
Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will be in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Orlando. He was listed on the initial injury report as questionable for the game, but Larsson has been upgraded to available. The 23-year-old rookie has averaged 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 16.8 minutes. However, he might have a bigger say in the rotation on Thursday, as the Heat remain without Jimmy Butler (conditioning) and have just lost Dru Smith (Achilles) for the season.
Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will remain out on Sunday versus Cleveland. He continues to nurse an ankle sprain that Larsson sustained in Friday's practice. With Larsson out of commission, Dru Smith saw additional action on Saturday versus Phoenix, logging 29 minutes off the bench. Smith did a little bit of everything for the team and might receive extra work again against the Cavaliers. Josh Richardson (heel) is also back in the mix for Miami, but he didn't log a single minute Saturday night despite being cleared for action.
Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will not play against Phoenix on Saturday. He sprained his right ankle in Friday's practice and will come out of the lineup after enjoying a good stretch of games in the rotation. The rookie from Sweden has logged 15-plus minutes in six of the last seven contests. Jaime Jaquez Jr. figures to take care of most of Larsson's minutes on Saturday, although fantasy managers might still not get enough value out of him.
