Pelle Larsson to Miss One to Two Weeks with Sprained Ankle

Swedish NBA player Pelle Larsson sustained a sprained ankle during the Miami Heat's game against the Orlando Magic. The injury occurred when Larsson lost his balance and stepped on teammate Andrew Wiggins’ foot. Following an MRI on Wednesday, the diagnosis confirmed a sprained ankle. The Miami Heat expect Larsson to be sidelined for one to two weeks, contingent on his rehabilitation progress.

Larsson, 24, has had a strong start this NBA season but has faced multiple injuries, including a previous foot injury and hip issues. He earned significant playing time earlier in the season by stepping up during Tyler Herro’s injury, starting 15 consecutive games. The Heat themselves have recently struggled, losing four of their last five games and entering a slump.

With five upcoming games in the next two weeks, it remains uncertain if Larsson will miss all of them depending on his recovery. The team remains hopeful he will return promptly as he continues rehabilitation. This update highlights ongoing concerns about Larsson’s fitness and the impact on Miami Heat’s season momentum.
