"We're so happy to have him back in this lineup," Jaime Jaquez Jr. said after the Heat's win. "He's the ultimate energy guy. He really gives everybody life and a spark that we desperately needed. The fact that he was able to comeback after so many games missed and play like that shows you how hard of a worker, how great of a player he is."
"While he was always a good shooter in college, he was inconsistent as a catch-and-shoot threat as a rookie, canning just 35.8 percent of his 1.5 3-point attempts. On the surface, that's not terrible. But of the 277 players who attempted at least 80 spot-up 3-pointers in 2025-26, his 35.8 3-point percentage placed in the 35th percentile. That's improved through 25 games this year, raising his catch-and-shoot 3-point percentage to 37.3 percent, in the 51st percentile (min. 50 3PA)."
Larsson returned after missing five games with a high-ankle sprain and made his 17th start, logging 30 minutes in a 126-111 victory over the Hawks. He scored a career-high 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three, and added six rebounds, five assists and a steal. Larsson opened the game with an assist and hit consecutive catch-and-shoot threes from the wing. His catch-and-shoot percentage improved from 35.8 percent as a rookie to 37.3 percent this season, moving from the 35th to the 51st percentile. His shooting threat creates space for downhill attacks and decisive closeout reads.
