Larsson missed Miami’s final three games before the All-Star break with a right elbow contusion. He’ll be available on Friday, but a return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed. Tyler Herro (ribs) participated fully in Thursday’s practice and is listed as probable to play in what would be his first game since January 15.

Larsson sustained a right elbow contusion in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, and it cost him Sunday’s win over the Wizards. Larsson is expected to sit out the second leg of Miami’s back-to-back set, which means Simone Fontecchio should take on an expanded workload.

Larsson, who suffered a right elbow contusion during Friday’s loss to the Celtics, was initially listed as doubtful. Simone Fontecchio replaced him in the lineup to begin the second half on Friday, so he may be the next man up to fill the void in the starting lineup.

Larsson suffered a right elbow contusion during Friday’s loss to the Celtics and did not play during the second half. With Tyler Herro (ribs) already out, the Heat may be forced to turn to Simone Fontecchio as the spot starter. While he can provide a few three-pointers, fantasy managers will be better served seeking out Jaime Jaquez Jr. before adding Fontecchio.

Larsson, who did not attempt a shot during Friday’s defeat, played 12 minutes and exited due to a right elbow contusion. Simone Fontecchio (two points, two rebounds, one steal and one block) started the third quarter but offered little offensive value, missing all five of his shots from the field. If Larsson can’t play on Sunday against the Wizards, Fontecchio may be the replacement in the lineup. Unfortunately, his showing in Boston wasn’t good enough to gain the confidence of fantasy managers who may be seeking a streamer.

Larsson, who continues to start for the injured Tyler Herro, has scored 20 points or more in two straight and three of his last six games. And the second-year guard has been a solid option in deep leagues, providing top-100 fantasy value over the past two weeks. Larsson, who’s rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, will be a worthwhile streamer as long as the Heat are without Herro.

Larsson saw an uptick in creation possessions on a night where both Norman Powell (back) and Tyler Herro (rib) remained absent. He came up with a pair of clutch buckets in the final three minutes as the Heat put together a furious late rally that came up short. The 24-year-old sharpshooter has been red-hot of late, averaging 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and two steals in four games over the last week. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper leagues.

Larsson continues to fill the void left by the injured Tyler Herro. Unfortunately, the second-year wing has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in a higher percentage of fantasy leagues. Hopefully, Larsson can build on Thursday’s production when the Heat host the Bulls on Saturday and Sunday. Given the matchup, he’s worth considering in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player.

While Larsson has started the Heat’s last six games, his offensive production has been inconsistent. Given the trend in his first five starts, the second-year wing was due for a double-digit scoring effort after tallying six points in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. Larsson was up to the task, with the 20 points being the most he’s recorded in a game since December 26. With Tyler Herro (ribs) out indefinitely, Larsson is worth a look in deep leagues, despite the inconsistent offensive output.

Larsson was initially listed as probable with a finger injury to his left hand, so his availability was expected Saturday. The 24-year-old guard should continue to start with Tyler Herro (rib) out, but he hasn’t proven to be a worthwhile streamer yet.

Larsson is managing a finger issue in his left hand, but that isn’t expected to keep him sidelined against Utah. He has been starting with Tyler Herro (rib) unavailable, which has led to limited production. Larsson should continue to start, but he isn’t an enticing streamer.

The Heat are without Davion Mitchell, who’s out with a left shoulder contusion. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Larsson, which means more on-ball playmaking duties for Herro and Powell.

Larsson scored 16 points for the second time in his last four games. The lack of a consistent role limits his scoring appeal and extinguishes his immediate fantasy appeal. However, he would be the primary beneficiary from a minutes standpoint if Norman Powell winds up requiring a lengthy absence. It’s a situation to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Larsson is back after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. Tyler Herro (toe) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) are out, so there will be rotation minutes available to the second-year wing. However, he is not a must-roster player in most leagues.

Larsson appears on track to return after a sprained ankle kept him out of Miami’s last two games. With Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) listed as doubtful, getting Larsson back will help the Heat from a numbers standpoint.

Larsson will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered on Monday. Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović and Dru Smith should all see a bump in minutes with Larsson unavailable.

Larsson missed Thursday’s game after an early exit on Monday and could remain out for another game. His minutes were dispersed between Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović and Dru Smith, though all three should continue to play their typical roles if Larsson returns.

Larsson left Monday’s game against the Nuggets with an ankle injury and has not healed enough to return. Nikola Jović stepped up in Larsson’s absence on Monday, scoring 22 points on 7-of-12 from the field. While we shouldn’t expect that level of production to continue, Jović will get another chance to duplicate that with both Larsson and Tyler Herro (toe) out.

Larsson sprained his right ankle when he stepped on the foot of Nuggets guard Tim Hardaway Jr. while running down the court in the third quarter. He immediately limped back to the locker room and is now done for the night. His absence frees up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović. Larsson missed time earlier this month with a sprained left ankle.

Friday’s game was the first for Larsson since December 9, as a sprained left ankle sidelined him. And with Bam Adebayo (back) unavailable, the second-year wing was inserted into the starting lineup. To say that Larsson’s performance in Atlanta was encouraging would be an understatement; the 21 points were a career-high, and he also provided solid value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. With Adebayo and Tyler Herro (toe) out, Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (16/5/3/3 with one three-pointer) have higher fantasy ceilings. The difference is that while Jaquez doesn’t need to start to provide solid value, Larsson does.

Larsson is back after missing five games with a sprained ankle, and he has been inserted into the starting lineup. The Heat are without Bam Adebayo (back), opening up a spot for Larsson. The other four starters are unchanged.

Larsson is good to go after missing Miami’s last five games with a sprained left ankle. He’ll provide additional depth on the wings but should not be considered a must-roster player in fantasy leagues.

Larsson has missed the last five games since suffering a sprained left ankle. While the Heat will remain without Tyler Herro (toe), the returns of Larsson and Nikola Jović (elbow) would make for a crowded perimeter rotation. Rookie Kasparas Jakučionas could be the odd man out, but that won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball.

Tuesday’s game will be the fifth that Larsson has missed with a sprained ankle. Simone Fontecchio and Kaparas Jakučionis have seen their minutes increase recently due to the injuries to multiple Heat perimeter players, most notably Tyler Herro.

Larsson will miss a fourth straight game on Sunday, as his time on the sidelines extends into a second week. At the time of his injury, it was reported that the second-year wing was expected to be out for one week. Due to the Heat’s injuries on the wing, Simone Fontecchio’s playing time has increased in recent games.

Miami only plays five games over the next two weeks, so Larsson shouldn’t miss many games. This isn’t a definitive timeline, but the expectation is that this isn’t a long-term absence. While he’s out, Dru Smith should fill extra reserve minutes in the backcourt.

Larsson was listed as questionable to return after exiting the game in the first half. He ended up missing the remainder of the game, and the initial x-rays were negative. He’s set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday that should provide more information. Miami won’t play again until next week, so Larsson should have time to recover, though if he does miss time, Dru Smith will likely see a bump in minutes off the bench.

Larsson said he will be back after a one-game absence. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra could go back to starting Larsson and bringing Kel’el Ware off the bench to match up better with the Magic frontcourt, but Larsson should play a large role regardless.

With Larsson unavailable, Kel’el Ware should remain in the starting lineup alongside Bam Adebayo. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Ware should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Larsson would likely be in line for another start Saturday with Tyler Herro (toe) doubtful, but he’s questionable himself with a hip injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard has just nine points over his last three contests and isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
