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 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 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.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during Monday’s win over the Clippers, but he is healthy enough to play and start in Dallas. Norman Powell (ankle) is out despite the Heat listing him as active, which means Larsson will start after coming off the bench on Monday.

Larsson left the first half of Monday’s game against the Clippers with a sprained right foot. The good news is the 24-year-old shooting guard won’t miss more time due to injury. Larsson could even see additional minutes with Norman Powell (ankle) out Wednesday.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during the first half of Monday’s game. While the Heat have the depth needed to account for his absence if the second-year wing misses time, this is an injury that could keep Larsson out for multiple games. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio may be the ones who absorb the minutes that would have gone to Larsson.

Larsson is still likely to play given his probable designation. He would even have some fantasy value in deeper formats if Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. are unable to suit up after suffering injuries on Friday night. Larsson is coming off a 20-point game on Friday night as well.

Larsson has started Miami’s last six games, providing inconsistent value on the offensive end of the floor. He’s reached double figures three times, with Friday’s point total being a career-high for the second-year wing. Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Larsson has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats since moving into the starting five. If Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. cannot play in Saturday’s game against Portland after suffering sprained ankles during Friday’s victory, Larsson will be worth the risk in deeper leagues.

Larsson has been upgraded from questionable to available and should retain his place in the starting lineup. While he’s had his moments, the second-year wing has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Larrson was added to the injury report early Friday afternoon, potentially leaving the Heat down a wing within the rotation. If he can’t play, one of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović or Simone Fontecchio will move into the starting lineup. Of the four options, Jaquez offers the highest fantasy upside.

With Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Larsson was tabbed to make his first start of the season. He rewarded Erik Spoelstra’s faith with a solid effort against the Hornets, reaching double figures for the first time this season and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. In fact, Larsson nearly doubled his point total after scoring nine points in Miami’s first three games. However, even if Powell misses more time, Larsson isn’t the best streaming option on a roster with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović (10/6/2 with two three-pointers).

Larsson didn’t participate in practice, but he did some work on the side, suggesting that his injury may not be serious enough to keep him sidelined for the start of the season. Larsson logged meaningful rotation minutes last season and could be in line for a similar role in 2025-26.

While Sweden finished group play at EuroBasket with a 1-4 record, they did enough to qualify for the Round of 16 thanks to Great Britain’s win over Montenegro earlier Wednesday. Larsson has led the way offensively for the Swedes, hitting double figures in all four games he played, surpassing 20 points on two occasions. His national team role may not align with what the Heat ask him to do next season, as Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Norman Powell are expected to lead the way offensively. However, Larsson should be in a position where he can earn consistent rotation minutes after appearing in 55 games as a rookie.

There’s no shortage of players who take on starring roles for their national teams after being bit contributors for their NBA squads. That’s the case for Larsson, who’s leading the way offensively for Sweden after a solid rookie season with the Heat. He shot 50 percent from the field on Monday, including a 7-of-11 mark from two, while recording a complete stat line. What Larsson does in EuroBasket is unlikely to impact his fantasy value for the 2025-26 season, but adding confidence in his ability to handle scoring in a high-volume game isn’t the worst thing for the forward or the Heat.

Larsson and the Heat picked up their first win of the summer on Monday, and he led the way offensively as a scorer and playmaker. While Kel’el Ware being called out over the weekend grabbed the headlines, he wasn’t the only Heat player whose competitiveness left something to be desired in Miami’s first two games. Larsson stepped up against the Celtics, and the Heat will need him consistently next season.
