Pelle Larsson has already warmed up. And now, NBA's second Swede, Bobi Klintman, has made his debut in the world's best basketball league.

The 21-year-old played for over four minutes when Detroit Pistons defeated Brooklyn Nets with 113–98 on Thursday night. He is the fourth Swede to get playing time in the NBA.

Klintman was drafted last summer as 37th in the second round by Minnesota Timberwolves, but was immediately traded to Detroit Pistons. However, his debut has been delayed due to an ankle injury.

Pelle Larsson also went in the second round. He was drafted by Houston Rockets but then moved to Miami Heat, where he has made 22 appearances this season.
