"Larsson, one of the Heat's most important reserves, left Tuesday's game in the second quarter after incidentally stepping on Andrew Wiggins' ankle. The injury occurred after a made basket from Wendell Carter Jr., where Larsson was helped off the court by his teammates. He was unable to put weight on his ankle. Thankfully, for Larsson and the Heat, they will be getting plenty of rest over the next two weeks."
"Larsson, 24, is averaging 8.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on 44.4 percent shooting and 33.8 percent from 3-point range. He has cooled off from 3-point range after shooting 39.2 percent from 3-point range over his first 16 games. Though the 6-foot-5 guard has been impactful defensively. He's our modern-day Goran Dragic; he gets hit in the face at least once every game."
"Thankfully, for Larsson and the Heat, they will be getting plenty of rest over the next two weeks. Miami will have five days' rest ahead of its next game against the Toronto Raptors, the substitute game for getting bounced in the Emirates Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday. They will have just five games over the next two weeks, including two against Toronto, one against Boston and one against New York."
Pelle Larsson suffered a left ankle sprain after stepping on Andrew Wiggins' ankle and could not put weight on it, with an MRI showing no serious damage and a minimum one-week absence expected. Miami's schedule offers extended rest and only five games in the next two weeks, including matchups with Toronto, Boston and New York, providing recovery time. Larsson, 24, averages 8.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 44.4 percent overall and 33.8 percent from three. Larsson remains a key on-ball defender, cutter and connector in Miami's high-tempo offense.
