Larsson, one of the Heat's most important reserves, left Tuesday's game in the second quarter after incidentally stepping on Andrew Wiggins' ankle. The injury occurred after a made basket from Wendell Carter Jr., where Larsson was helped off the court by his teammates. He was unable to put weight on his ankle. Thankfully, for Larsson and the Heat, they will be getting plenty of rest over the next two weeks.

Upon getting eliminated from the Emirates Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday, we knew the Miami Heat's next opponent would be the loser of the other East quarterfinal between the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks. As a result of the Knicks' 117-101 win, Miami will square off against the Raptors. And the game will be on Monday, Dec. 15, at 7:30 p.m. EST, the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson first reported Tuesday evening.

While Tyler Herro will miss his second consecutive game with a toe injury, the Miami Heat will also be without two key role players. The Miami Heat will be without Davion Mitchell (right groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip), the team announced roughly two hours before Saturday night's game. #SACvsMIA INJURY UPDATE: Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (right groin tightness) and Pelle Larsson (right hip flexor tightness) have all been ruled out of tonight's game vs the Kings.- Miami HEAT (@MiamiHEAT) December 6, 2025

The Heat recently beat the Clippers in Los Angeles earlier this season in a tight game that played out until the final buzzer. However, LA has gone just an abysmal 2-8 over their last 10 games, including a current four-game losing streak. They have been one of the most disappointing teams this season- sitting at 13th place in the competitive Western Conference.
