"In the season-opener, Larsson logged just four minutes and finished with zero points on 0-1 shooting from the field. Unfortunately, he did have two fouls in that short stint. And that was probably one of the bigger reasons why he didn't get more time on the floor. His untimely fouling and decision-making have been an issue for him in the past. It's clear he hasn't completely shaken it off."
"In the second game of the season, Larsson logged eight minutes. However, most of that was in garbage time. If the Heat aren't blowing out Memphis, there's probably a chance Larsson doesn't even enter the game. If nothing else, it does give you a good indication of where Larsson stands among the rest of the rotation players on this roster. And it's not a great sign."
Pelle Larsson has played fewer than 12 total minutes across two regular-season games and has struggled to secure meaningful playing time. He generated offseason momentum with strong showings in summer league and EuroBasket, creating expectations for a larger role. Early-season usage has been minimal: four minutes in the opener (0 points, 0-1 shooting, two fouls) and eight mostly garbage-time minutes in the second game. Untimely fouling and inconsistent decision-making remain issues. Larsson's lack of minutes despite wing injuries to Tyler Herro and Kasparas Jakucionis suggests limited immediate opportunity. Earning a consistent role will require improved consistency and cleaner play.
