The Heat have secured a four-year, $60 million contract for Pelle Larson.

September 19th - According to ESPN , Miami Heat guard Pelle Larson has agreed to sign a four-year, $ 60 million contract with the team , including a two-way option for the 2030-31 season.

The 6- foot -5 guard is a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft. This extension prevents Larson from entering restricted free agency next summer and locks him into a $ 60 million guaranteed contract, with an option to exercise the 2030 option.

Last season, Larson averaged 11.4 points per game, an increase of nearly 7 points from his rookie season. Larson played 70 games, starting 54 of them. According to ESPN data analysis, he ranked 4th in offensive efficiency , 5th in playing time , and among the top ten in the league in offensive fouls drawn by the Heat.

During the offseason, the Heat acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo via trade and signed the veteran after Klay Thompson 's buyout. With the team's roster adjustments, Larsson is expected to take on a more significant rotation role in the new season.
