It was only 3.5 minutes of playing time for Pelle Larsson when he made his season debut in the NBA on Thursday night. His Miami team was defeated on away ground when the first match of the season was finished.
Despite the fact that Larsson has had an impressive rookie season and is often described as Sweden's foremost basketball talent right now, he did not score any points. Already beforehand, Larsson was prepared for not getting any playing time at all.
Actually, I do not expect anything. It can be a bit dangerous to think that you should get something for free just because you had a good first year. I think I will go in with the same mindset as the first year and try to earn everything from the beginning so that the coaches trust me, said Pelle Larsson to TT before the match.
