Story summary
Pelle Larsson, a Swedish shooting guard for the Miami Heat, has agreed to a four-year contract extension potentially worth up to $60 million. His starting salary for 2027-28 is $13.5 million, increasing annually with a mutual option for the 2030-31 season. Larsson was drafted in 2024 as the No. 44 overall pick by Houston and later traded to Miami, where he has become an integral part of the team's rotation. Last season, he averaged 11.4 points per game while shooting nearly 50%, making significant contributions during his rookie year. The Heat, who have praised Larsson’s development both in the NBA and with Sweden’s national team, see him as a key player moving forward after securing star talent like Giannis Antetokounmpo through major trades this summer.
