Miami lost to Chicago (111–119) in the hunt for better seeding ahead of the NBA playoffs, and the team's Swede didn't even get the chance to contribute.
Pelle Larsson sprained his ankle during warm-up – during some kind of strength lift, writes Miami on X and wasn't even dressed for the match.
The 24-year-old rookie has shown promise during his first season in the NBA and stood out, among other things, for twelve points in the win against Philadelphia earlier in the week.
With Andrew Wiggins back from injury, it spoke in favor of Larsson being relegated to the bench against Chicago, but the injury comes at an inopportune time. Only two rounds remain of the regular season, which Miami concludes with matches against New Orleans Pelicans and Washington Wizards over the weekend.
