Miami Heat extend Pelle Larsson for $60 million amid offseason moves

Summary

The Miami Heat have extended guard Pelle Larsson for four years at $60 million, starting in the 2027-28 season. This move follows similar contract agreements within the team, including Andrew Wiggins. Larsson’s new deal secures a key role for him and gives the Heat flexibility in potential future trades. Head coach Erik Spoelstra is expected to utilize Larsson, despite concerns about his shooting ability, as a valuable asset off the bench. Larsson was set to become a restricted free agent next summer and this contract ensures a favorable situation for the team moving forward.
