The 44th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Larsson has emerged as another under-the-radar success story for Miami.

After averaging just 4.6 points during his rookie campaign, the Swedish guard took a major step forward in the 2025-26 season.

Larsson started 54 of his 70 regular-season appearances for the Heat, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 26.4 minutes per game while shooting 49.6 percent from the field.
