Pelle Larsson left Miami's preseason game against Minnesota early after a lingering illness, Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang reports.
He said he caught something during the preseason trip to Quebec City and came back too soon, leaving him with ongoing headaches. His status for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn is in question, though he did limited work in Tuesday's practice.
Pelle Larsson and Miami have agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension that includes a mutual option for the 2030-31 season, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, with the new money kicking in for the 2027-28 season. The deal has not yet been confirmed by the Heat.
Heat insider Ethan Skolnick tells SI's OnSI he expects Miami to lock up Pelle Larsson on a four-year, $70 million extension, slightly above Nikola Jovic's deal.
Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel discusses whether Miami should pursue guard Devin Carter after he clears waivers from Sacramento and Atlanta, noting his father Anthony Carter's ties to the franchise.
