$Signed a two-year, $3.11 million contract with the Heat in July of 2024. Contract includes $2.3 million team option for 2026-27.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Larsson played four years at the college level, spending his freshman year with Utah and the subsequent three campaigns with Arizona. Larsson started in 18 of his 25 appearances as a freshman for the Utes, averaging 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest. He moved to Arizona as a sophomore, but his tenure with the Wildcats didn't begin well, as Larsson started in just two of his 37 appearances while logging a career-low 20.7 minutes per game. Larsson started 18 times in his junior year and experienced a statistical uptick across the board, but he would break out for good in his senior year. Larsson started in each of his 36 appearances with the Wildcats in 2023-24, averaging 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting an impressive 51.9% from the field and an elite 42.6% from beyond the arc. Larsson was named to the 2023-24 All-Pac 12 Second Team, a year in which he also finished sixth in assists per game. A 6-foot-5 guard with a strong frame, Larsson already looks the part of an NBA player who should be capable of holding his own on the defensive end. However, his biggest asset lies on offense, as he's emerged as a reliable shooter, both in catch-and-shoot and off-ball situations. Due to his athleticism and strong frame, he's a threat when finishing at the rim, but there's a strong chance his offensive game at the next level will rely primarily on his shooting ability. Larsson can also thrive in pick-and-roll situations, particularly as the ball-handler due to his excellent vision. Larsson can potentially fulfill the role of a secondary ball-handler at the NBA level, though he'd thrive even more as a catch-and-shoot alternative with enough athleticism to attack the rim if given enough space. Defensively, he should be ready to make an impact at the next level since he's a shooting guard with the build of a small forward, though he doesn't profile to be a difference-making presence on that end of the floor. Larsson's mold can be found often in the NBA right now. He's a versatile guard who can defend multiple positions while emerging as a reliable catch-and-shoot threat, with the possibility of an even more significant role on offense if his game keeps developing. That should warrant a long career in The Association, as teams all over the league have the need for a competent wing who can make his presence felt on both ends of the court.
Best game of season thus far
FMiami Heat
November 5, 2024
Larsson posted 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS With Kevin Love (conditioning) and Jaime Jaquez (illness) sidelined, Larsson made the most of his opportunity and posted a career-best scoring mark, and this was also the first time he logged more than 20 minutes off the bench. Larsson won't assume a starting role anytime soon, but he might be productive in deeper formats if he hovers around the 20-minute mark consistently.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Praised by coaching staff
FMiami Heat
October 12, 2024
Larsson was praised by head coach Erik Spoelstra due to his play in the preseason, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. "He's as advertised," Spoelstra said of Larsson. "He knows how to defend multiple positions, he brings you physicality on that side of the floor. Offensively, he moves very well without the ball, so he could be a connector with whatever unit he plays. And also, he's been really working diligently on his shooting."
ANALYSIS The 23-year-old recorded 10 points, two assists and a steal in 16 minutes of action during Tuesday's preseason opener in Charlotte while missing just one of his five shots from the field. The former Arizona standout might not see a lot of minutes in the regular season, but his play has caught the coaching staff's attention, which might translate to potential role off the bench, perhaps as a three-and-D specialist in the backcourt.
